enrollment of vessels

Maritime law. The recording and certification of vessels used in coastal or inland navigation, as distinguished from the “registration” of vessels used in foreign commerce.

• Enrollment and registry are used to distinguish certificates granted to two classes of vessels. Enrollment evidences the national character of a vessel engaged in coasting trade or home traffic; registry is used to declare the nationality of a vessel engaged in foreign trade. Cf. REGISTRY(2). [Cases: Shipping 6. C.J.S. Shipping §§ 16–17.]
