From 3 December 1990 to 28 February 1991, we have
registered 15 ships and the registration of a further 7 is
being processed. We have lost 35 of the ships transferred from
the original register, of which 13 were yachts. Such turnover
is not unusual. The original register experienced turnover of
more than one million GRT in a normal year.
