8D Minister may specify vessels not to be registered
(1) The Minister may, by notifiable instrument, specify, for the purposes of this regulation, a vessel that is not registered under the Shipping Registration Act if: (a) the Minister has reasonable grounds to believe it is owned, controlled or operated by: (i) a DPRK person or entity; or (ii) a DPRK citizen; or (iii) a person or entity acting on behalf, or at the direction, of a DPRK person or entity or a DPRK citizen; or (iv) an entity owned or controlled by a DPRK person or entity or a DPRK citizen; or (b) it has been de‑registered by a foreign country in accordance with the foreign country’s obligations under paragraph 19 of Resolution 2270 or paragraph 24 of Resolution 2321; or (c) it has been de‑registered by a foreign country in accordance with the foreign country’s obligations under paragraph 12 of Resolution 2397 and an approval referred to in that paragraph is not in effect in relation to the vessel. (2) However, the Minister must not specify a vessel covered by paragraph (1)(a) if it is covered by that paragraph only because the vessel’s captain, master or pilot, or a member of the vessel’s crew, is a resident of the DPRK or a DPRK citizen.
