Every documented vessel must be marked with its official number, name and hailing port. Operation of a documented vessel without proper markings is a violation of U.S. regulation. All exterior markings must be in clearly legible letters of the Latin alphabet or Roman or Arabic numerals not less than four inches in height. BOW MARKINGS (required for commercial vessels only): The name of a commercial vessel must be marked on a clearly visible exterior part of both bows and on the stern of the vessel. If the vessel has a square bow, the name may be marked on some clearly visible exterior part of the bow in order to avoid obliteration. STERN MARKINGS (commercial vessels): The name and hailing port of the vessel must be marked on some clearly visible exterior part of the stern. RECREATIONAL VESSEL MARKINGS: The name and hailing port must be marked together on some clearly visible exterior part of the hull. OFFICIAL NUMBERS: The six or seven digit official number awarded by the U.S. Coast Guard must be permanently marked in block type Arabic numerals not less than three (3) inches high on some clearly visible interior structural part of the hull. The number must be preceded by the abbreviation "NO.", and must be affixed in a manner which would make alteration, removal, or replacement obvious. |
