SAILING GLOSSARY
Vessel registration number
A vessel registration number is an identification number assigned to a vessel by a maritime authority. Depending on the country, it can be used for boat registration, official identification, and certain administrative procedures. It should not be confused with the HIN (Hull Identification Number), which is a unique number assigned to the boat by its manufacturer.
