Gel de pavillon Gets 2,800 hits. I think your reasoning is correct, Nikki.

re SAMCO REDWOOD A quick search on last-named vessel in previous post here: https://www.unitheque.com/UploadFile/DocumentPDF/N/A/APWQ-97...
Page 12 of this doc, you can see the ex-SAMCO REDWOOD registered under French flag in 2016 and noted as formerly of the Marshall island.

"Suspended" does look correct.

I can find one single hit on Google for the expression "en gel de pavillon de" and it's here: http://socatra.com/socatra-immatricule-lasterion-sous-rif-pr...
I have a couple of years' experience in P&I in the bilingual department of a Luxembourg shipping mutual in the City of London. I never came across this term.
When you look at the source I have cited, in context it appears thus:

"Placé en gel de pavillon Luxembourg, le navire est affrété par la compagnie SOCATRA.
Trois autres unités identiques à l’ASTERION devraient rejoindre le RIF d’ici le mois de février."
N.B.: RIF = registre international français: http://www.rif.mer.developpement-durable.gouv.fr/

Also http://www.rif.mer.developpement-durable.gouv.fr/le-petrolie... "Le VLCC SAMCO REDWOOD a rejoint la flotte RIF, le 9 janvier. Placé en gel du pavillon des Îles Marshall, le SAMCO REDWOOD,..."

"Frozen" gives nothing, "suspension" is however used.

Error? Might "en gel" be a typo or other type of error?

suspension of the primary registry


a ship registered by its owner in one state (commonly called the “primary registry”) can also be registered temporarily (usually for the duration of the charter period) by its bareboat charterer in another state (often the state in which the bareboat charterer operates, and is usually referred to as the “bareboat registry”).

Thank you
Peer comment(s):

agree Nikki Scott-Despaigne : Or to fit the context "registration suspended : SINGAPORE". The S/pore reg° has been suspended so that the entity taking the boat on can offer the vessel for b/boat charter and leave the entity chartering the vessel to reg. the vessel with its chosen FOC.

In addition to dsicussion post references

A "bareboat" charter is one of three types of charter party whereby a vessel is made available under terms that are agreed between the owner and the charterer.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charterparty

"There are three main types of charterparty: time, voyage and demise and another :

In a demise (or bareboat) charter, the charterer takes responsibility for the crewing and maintenance of the ship during the time of the charter. He assumes the legal responsibilities of the owner, and is known as a disponent owner.[citation needed]
In a time charter, the vessel is hired for a specific amount of time. The shipowner manages the vessel but the charterer gives orders for the employment of the vessel, and may sub-charter the vessel on a time charter or voyage charter basis.
In a voyage charter, the charterer hires the vessel for a single voyage, but the shipowner provides the master, crew, bunkers and supplies.[3]
A demise charter operates as a long lease of the vessel, with the charterer completely in charge. In time and voyage charters, the shipowner still runs the ship, but when in port the charterer becomes responsible for loading and unloading the ship within the agreed period of laytime. If the charterer exceeds the allowed laytime, demurrage[4] becomes payable.[5]"

In the context posted, there is no mention of charter party type. It is almost certain that it is bareboat, otherwise the flag would not be suspended. However, the point here is that the text states the flag has been suspended. It makes no mention of the type of charter party.

There's a whole load of terminology in the field that is highly pecific, the same term sometimes being used to describe different parties, depending at which contractual relationship one is looking at. You can only translatewhat is there an this realtes to the flag; no more, no less.

Use of "registration suspended" in relation to bareboat charter:
http://www.kiribaship.com/registration/Bareboat_Charter_Out....

"A Kiribati vessel may also have its registration suspended and be Bareboat chartered-out to another registry in the name of the Bareboat Charterers."
