What this is

The certificate of non-encumbrance (often equated to a certificate of non-pledge or legal status) is an official document issued by the competent authority certifying that a vessel is free from any registered mortgage, seizure, maritime debt, or judicial encumbrance. It assures any potential buyer or creditor of transparency regarding the vessel's legal and financial status at the time of the transaction.

At the counter

What readers say they paid

The instrument sets a fee. At the counter it is not always that one. Here is what readers report, counted and summed up.

Nobody has reported an amount for this procedure yet.

If you have done it, say what you paid. It is published as counted figures, never as your account of it.

Report what I paid

No name, no number, no link. We refuse those.

We publish how many reports there are, the range and the median. Never your report on its own, never an official's name, never a named office.
