Article 26 Agreements with othersI1
England, Wales and Scotland
The Agency may enter into agreements with any other person for the purpose of—
facilitating the administration of provisions for the regulation of vessels on the waterways (including the provisions of this Order); and
integrating such administration with the administration by that person of any powers and controls exercised by that person or other arrangements made by that person for the regulation of vessels.
In particular, any such agreement may provide—
for treating registration or other certificates issued by one of the parties to the agreement as certificates issued by the other;
for treating distinguishing marks or numbers assigned to vessels registered or certified by one party to the agreement as having been assigned to that vessel by the other; and
for apportioning any registration fees or other charges between the parties to the agreement.
To the extent provided by any such agreement, any certificate issued by a party to such an agreement is to be deemed for the purposes of this Order to have been issued by the Agency, and any mark, number or other distinguishing sign displayed on a vessel in accordance with the requirements of a person who is a party to such an agreement is to be treated as complying with the requirements of this Order.
