§ 12135. Invalidation of certificates of documentation

§ 12135. Invalidation of certificates of documentation

(1) no longer meets the requirements of this chapter and regulations prescribed under this chapter applicable to the certificate or endorsement; or

(2) is placed under the command of an individual not a citizen of the United States in violation of section 12131 of this title.

(Pub. L. 109–304, § 5, Oct. 6, 2006, 120 Stat. 1506.)

In paragraph (2), the words “except for a recreational endorsement” are omitted as unnecessary because a recreational endorsement does not permit a vessel to engage in a trade.
