Section 45

Where a ship has ceased to be registered as a Brunei ship by reason of having been wrecked or abandoned, or for any reason other than capture by the enemy or transfer to a person not qualified to own a Brunei ship, the ship shall not be re-registered until she has, at the expense of the appli-cant for registration, been surveyed by a government sur-veyor and certified by him to be seaworthy.
