Procedure for Marking Name of Ship on Ship
1. Marking the name of a ship on board the ship
1.1. The name of a ship shall be marked on each of her boards of the bow section.
1.2. The location and letter height of the name of a ship shall be chosen
depending on the length of the ship and freeboard height in the bow, and the
length of the name.
1.3. The letter heights shall be chosen depending on the length of the ship as
follows:
a) recreational craft with an overall length of up to 12 meters – letter height
150–200 mm;
b) recreational craft with an overall length of up to 24 meters – letter height
200–300 mm;
c) ships with an overall length of 24 to 50 meters – letter height 350–450 mm;
d) ships with an overall length of 50 to 100 meters – letter height 500–600 mm;
e) ships with an overall length of more than 100 meters – letter height 600–1300
mm.
1.4. The name of a ship shall be marked in white letters on dark background and
in black letters on light background.
1.5. The name of a ship must be parallel with the deck line and shall be placed
1,5 to 3 letter heights below the deck line and 500 to 1000 mm behind the
hawsehole.
2. Marking the name of a ship and the name of her port of registry on the stern
of the ship
2.1. The name of a ship and the name of her port of registry shall be marked on
the stern section of the ship. The letter height of the name of the ship shall
be 4/5 of the letter height of the name on the bow of the ship, and the letter
height of the name of the port of registry shall be 3/5 of the letter height of
the name of the ship marked on the stern.
2.2. On a ship with a transom stern, the name of the ship and the name of her port
of registry shall be marked on the transom board. If due to the constructional
features (stern ramp) it is not possible to mark the name of a ship and the
name of her port of registry on the transom board, they shall be marked on each
of her boards as near to the stern as practicable.
2.3. On a cruiser or a ship with an elliptical stern, the name of the ship and
the name of her port of registry shall be marked on the stern of the ship in
such manner that the angle of the ship’s board to water shall not exceed 45° at
that place. If this is not possible, the name of the ship and the name of her
port of registry shall be marked on each of her boards as near to the stern as
practicable.
2.4. The name of the ship shall be marked 150 to 800 mm below the deck line. The
name of the port of registry shall be marked 100 to 300 mm below the name of
the ship.
2.5. The name of the ship may be omitted from the stern of a recreational craft
with an overall length of up to 24 meters.
2.6. The name of a ship and the name of her port of registry shall be marked in
white letters on dark background and in black letters on light background.
3. Marking the name of a ship on the midship
3.1. On a recreational craft with an overall length of up to 12 meters, the
name of the ship may be omitted from the bow, and instead it can be marked on the
wheelhouse roof or on a shield attached to top deck railing.
3.2. On a ship with an overall length of 50 meters and more and with a
superstructure amidships, it is permitted, in addition to the name marked on
the bow and on the stern, to mark the name of the ship also on the walls of the
upper deck of the superstructure or on a shield attached to the top deck
railing.
3.3. The name marked on a wall of a superstructure amidships or on a shield
attached to the top deck railing may be illuminated during the hours of
darkness.
4. Shape of the letters of the name of a ship and marking the identification
marks of the shipowner on the ship.
4.1. All the names marked on a ship shall be clearly written and easily legible.
The design of the letters of names is not regulated.

company or operator on the funnels and boards of a ship is not regulated.
