434. Effect of registration of fishing vessels.—(1) In all proceedings under this Ordinance against the owner or skipper of, or any person belonging to, any vessel entered in the fishing vessel’s register, or for the recovery of damages for injury done to such vessel, the register shall be conclusive evidence that the person entered there in at any date as owner of the vessel was at that date the owner thereof, and that the vessel is a Pakistani sea going fishing vessel. (2) This section shall not prevent any proceedings being instituted against any person not so entered who is beneficially interested in the vessel nor shall it affect the rights of the owners among themselves, if there be more than one owner, or the rights of any owner entered in the register against any person not so entered who is beneficially interested in the vessel. (3) Save as aforesaid, entry in the fishing vessel’s register shall not confer, take away, or affect any title to, or interest in, any such vessel.
