Criteria and Supporting Documents for Changing the Type of Vessel

     The type of vessel is classified according to the functional features. Knowing the type of vessel is required to determine the ship’s license, or Thai ship registration (in case of registering as Thai vessel). If there is a change in such requirements, the person holding ownership of the vessel, or their legal representative must submit the application to the registrar to change the vessel type, together with supporting documents, specified by the Regulation of the Port Authority on the criteria and practices relating to the Thai vessel registration and the ship’s license, B.E. 2555 (2012), Clause 92. Any person using the vessel in violation of the specification in the ship’s license is liable to a fine ranging from 1,000 to 10,000 baht under the Thai Sea Navigation Act, B.E. 2456 (1913), Section 175.
