For Canada, for pleasure craft, both the name and port of registry must be marked together on a clearly visible exterior part of the hull.
Q8. What are the marking requirements? A8. Your Certificate of Registry is not valid until you have your vessel marked according to requirements noted on the back of your Certificate of Registry: Name and port of registry: For pleasure craft and air cushion vehicles, both the name and port of registry must be marked together on a clearly visible exterior part of the hull. For commercial vessels, the vessel name must be marked on each bow and the vessel name and port of registry must be marked on the stern. If the vessel has a square bow, the name may be marked on a clearly visible exterior part of the bow. You may make the markings by any means and materials that result in durable markings. All must be at least 10 cm in height, made in clearly legible letters of the Latin alphabet or Arabic or Roman numerals. Net registered tonnage and official number: Both the official number and the net registered tonnage shown on the Certificate of Registry must be marked in block-type Arabic numerals at least 4 cm high on a clearly visible interior structural part of the hull. Place the abbreviation: "N.R.T." before the net registered tonnage "O.N." before the official number Note: Make sure these numbers are permanently affixed so that changes to, and attempts to remove or replace them would be obvious and cause some scarring or damage to the surrounding hull area. >From here: https://www.tc.gc.ca/eng/marinesafety/oep-vesselreg-registration-menu-2311.htm#faqs On Thu, 19 Mar 2020 at 16:36, Bill Coleman via CnC-List < cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: > *The hailing port does belong on the transom, no? * > > And the boat name also, but I can’t believe it is illegal to also have it > on the side - ‘ > > > > I think I was told That Canadians are required to have name on the side of > the boat.
