This Order, made by the Governor in Council under sections 64 and 65(1) and (2) of the Merchant Shipping Act, 2001, empowers the Director appointed by the Governor under the Act to direct the Registrar of Shipping and Seamen not to register a ship if he or she: (a) is satisfied that having regard to any restriction on the registration of ships made in relation to the Virgin Islands or pursuant to any agreement entered into between the Virgin Islands and any other country, it is inexpedient to do so; or (b) considers that a ship should not be registered for any other good reason.
