For SSR under Part III is the reg # required to be posted on the hull.

Also is it customary to put a home port, UK on the transom for visits to foreign ports as this will be required for checkin and sometimes verified by inspection of the boat.

Feedback appreciated by those who have ventured to foreign ports with SSR part III

Hi

The official UK Ship Register site seems to omit this important information. However, the letter issued with the SSR states the following

You must ensure that your vessel is marked with its registered number (including the prefix “SSR”). This must be painted on, or fixed to the exterior of the hull, deck or superstructure where it can be readily seen.

Each digit of the number should be a minimum of 30mm in height and 20mm in width, except for the number 1, which should be 5mm in width and have a thickness of 5mm with a space of 5mm between each digit.
~~~~~~
Any plate or raised lettering used to display the number must be securely attached to the vessel and should be effectively mainitained and renewed where necessary.

Regarding Port of Registration (note: not necessarily the same as Home Port) this is not mandatory (AFAIK), but it is customary to include it under the boat name on the transom.

Thanks for the info.
In your case or the majority of SSR #’s are they affixed either side of fore hull or singly on the transom.

Mine is on the transom but the decision is yours, so long as the marking “can be readily seen”.

It is usual to affix just the boat name either side of the bow and the boat name, port of registration and SSR on the transom.

The photo below (click it to enlarge) shows how it looks on Playtime.

In many places in Greece the harbour authorities, if they bother to ask for the DEKPA (cruising log), will ask for a home port but don’t usually check it is on the boat.
