Falkland Islands
The
Falkland Islands has operated its own Red Ensign register since
1861.
On 15 September 2003, a four-part
register arrangement similar to that operated in the United Kingdom
was commenced when the Falkland Islands adopted Parts I and II of
the UK Merchant Shipping Act 1995 (with modifications).
The Register is ordinarily
restricted to merchant vessels not exceeding a gross tonnage of
150, fishing vessels and small ships whose owners or charterers
have a connection with the Falkland Islands and except in the case
of the latter, all applications to register require the approval of
the Governor.
