Section 41
Temporary pass in lieu of certificate of registry.
The Merchant Shipping Act, 1958
About this Act
An Act to foster the development and ensure the efficient maintenance of an Indian mercantile marine in a manner best suited to serve the national interests and for that purpose to establish a National Shipping Board to provide for the registration, certification, safety and security of Indian ships and generally to amend and consolidate the law relating to merchant shipping.
Where it appears to the Central
Government that by reason of special circumstances it is desirable that permission should be granted
to any Indian ship to pass without being previously registered from one port to any other port in India,
the Central Government may authorise the registrar of the first-mentioned port to grant a pass in such
form as may be prescribed, and that pass shall for the time and within the limits therein mentioned
have the same effect as a certificate of registry.
