What This Is

Satisfy your Certificate of Registry obligations with properly formatted vessel name and port-of-registry lettering cut to Transport Canada specifications. Any vessel holding a Certificate of Registry under the Canada Shipping Act, 2001 must display its vessel name on both sides of the bow and its port of registry on the stern — in block letters, in a contrasting colour. This kit includes both sets, pre-cut and ready to apply.

Port of registry placement Stern of the vessel, in block letters Canada Shipping Act, 2001, s.60(1)(b)
Recommended character height Minimum 4 inches (10 cm) for vessels under 24 m Transport Canada TP 14457 guidance

What to Supply at Order

Provide your exact vessel name (as it appears on your Certificate of Registry) and your port of registry (typically the city where the vessel was registered — e.g., TORONTO, KINGSTON, HAMILTON). We cut to your exact text. Choose a colour that contrasts with your hull — white lettering on dark hulls, or black on light-coloured fibreglass.
