Application of section 33C of the Shipping Registration Act (2) If a ship to which this regulation applies is registered in the General Register, section 33C (apart from paragraph 33C(1)(b)) of the Shipping Registration Act applies to the registration in the same way that it would apply if the ship were registered in the International Register. Cancellation of registration (3) The Registrar must: (a) cancel the registration of a ship to which this regulation applies; and (b) give written notice of the cancellation, specifying the reason for the cancellation, to each person registered as an owner of the ship in accordance with regulations made under the Shipping Registration Act. (4) Section 3A of the Shipping Registration Act applies to a cancellation under subregulation (3) in the same way that it applies to a cancellation under that Act. Cessation of entitlement to registration and prohibition on registration (5) If a ship to which this regulation applies is an Australian‑owned ship, then, despite section 12 of the Shipping Registration Act, the ship ceases to be required to be registered under that Act. (6) If a ship to which this regulation applies is of a kind mentioned in section 14 of the Shipping Registration Act, then, despite that section and section 15E of that Act: (a) the ship ceases to be permitted to be registered in the General Register; and (b) if (after the ship’s registration is cancelled under subregulation (3)) an application under section 15 of that Act is made to register the ship in the General Register, the Registrar must not register the ship in that register. (7) If a ship to which this regulation applies is of a kind mentioned in section 15B of the Shipping Registration Act, then, despite that section and section 15F of that Act: (a) the ship ceases to be permitted to be registered in the International Register; and (b) if (after the ship’s registration is cancelled under subregulation (3)) an application under section 15C of that Act is made to register the ship in the International Register, the Registrar must not register the ship in that register.
