Bareboat Charter Register or Dual Registration under a Demise Charter scheme, does not in fact sanc-tion the alternative use of flags of different states, but rather it authorises the use of the flag of the coun-try where the ship is temporarily flagged only. Bareboat Charter Register is not intended to miselead third party states or persons dealing with the ship in respect of its nationality. Bareboat Charter Register gives a shipwner a more flexible and attractive package, for example mortga-ging facilities might be more attractive in one state because of its stronger laws relating to recovery of liens, whereas the manning requirements might be attractive in another state. By using Bareboat Charter Register, a shipwner/manager can avail himself of both advantage instead of settling for a compro-mise. Ships on a Bareboat charter Register would be subject to the safety, manning and anti-pollution require-ments of the second flag state and would carry that state's right to fly a flag of the original state be withd-rawn and the effect is to suspend the registration during the period of demise charter except in so far as relates to Title transactions.
