87.—(1) The Registrar may, subject to regulation 101 (Service of notices), close the registration of a bareboat charter ship:—
(a)on application by the charterer;

[F1(ba)on determining that, at the time of registration, the ship was not eligible to be registered;

[F3(f)where the charterer of a fishing vessel fails to respond to the Registrar within 15 days of a request from him to supply information concerning details on the Register;
(g)where the charterer of a fishing vessel supplies information requested by the Registrar, but that information is either false or incorrect or is reasonably considered by the Registrar to be insufficient;
(h)where under regulation 84 the charterer is required to notify the Registrar, and has not done so;
(i)where under regulation 51 as applied by regulation 85 a person is required to make an application, and has not done so; or
(j)where a fishing vessel certificate has expired.]
(2) On closure of a ship’s registration under paragraph (1) the charterer shall forthwith surrender to the Registrar the certificate of bareboat charter [F4registry] for cancellation.
