Merchant Navy/Marine granted visa Explanation: Visa requirements for crew members are administrative entry restrictions imposed by countries on members of the crew during transit or turnaround. These requirements for permission to enter a territory for a short duration and perform their predefined duties in the given areas are distinct from actual formal permission for an alien to enter and remain in a territory. The validity of transit visas for crew members are usually limited to short terms such as several hours to 10 days depending on the size of the country and the circumstances. Visa policies for crew members are set by the country and apply during transit or when joining the vessel or aircraft. It is usually illegal for crew members to perform repairs or do similar work without work permits when either in port, or when travelling in territorial waters. A few countries offer a visa waiver program or do not issue a crew visa, but allow entry for a limited time with mandatory clearance documents. Source: Wikipedia A merchant navy or merchant marine or mercantile marine[1] is the fleet of merchant vessels that are registered in a specific country. On merchant vessels, seafarers of various ranks and sometimes members of maritime trade unions are required by the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW)[2] to carry Merchant Mariner's Documents. King George V bestowed the title of the "Merchant Navy" on the British merchant shipping fleets following their service in the First World War; since then a number of other nations have also adopted use of that title or the similar "Merchant Marine." The following is a partial list of the merchant navies or merchant marines of various countries. In many countries the fleet's proper name is simply the capitalized version of the common noun ("Merchant Navy"). Source:Wikipedia |

registered by the (appropriate) French maritime affairs (port) authority Explanation: Building on (some of) the discussion and answers this is how I'd translate this. You say you're not sure which authority is actually responsible here (you mention that "the authorities named in the text are the DDTM/Maritime Affaires and the local custom's office registering the boat for the French flag register. There is no clear indication as to which maritime authority this one is"). I think by putting "appropriate" and "port" you are narrowing it down as boats need to be registered/flagged not just with the overall authority (the DDTM formerly Affaires Maritimes) but with the local port authority or Harbour Master's Office as well. In fact, it seems that you may just need to put "registered by the French (local) port authority". Since this boat is second hand, it's probably already registered for its French flag so just needs to be registered with the local port authority (i.e. the Harbour Master's Office) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harbourmaster Yes, I also agree that "marine marchande" as used here is an informal way to describe the authority in question. BUT (@ Ph_b) the "French Merchant Navy" would NOT be appropriate in English as that means merchant/commercial shipping with a crew rather than pleasure craft https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merchant_navy And definitely NOT ICS either which is the international body for merchant shipping https://www.ics-shipping.org/ |
