FAQS
The reference title assigned by the Shipping Registry to such an authorised party depends on the form of the appointment. The authorised party is referred to as an “Authorised Person” if appointed under form CISR 855, or a “Representative Person” if appointed under form CISR 856, Section 4.
The “Representative Person” accepts their appointment by making a declaration under form CISR 856, Section 5.
The appointment of a Representative Person does not disturb an owner’s right to deal directly with the Registry either as an Individual Owner or through an Authorised Person.
