Permanent deregistration of a watercraft

Permanent deregistration refers to removing a watercraft from the register, never to be re-registered again.

Do the following:

  • Step 1

    Check the documents

    You must attach evidence of the watercraft being permanently destroyed or scrapped to your notification. An official scrapping point will give you a certificate of destruction. If you have destroyed the watercraft yourself, for example by burning it, you should provide a freely worded account of this. 

    The account should show by whom, where and when the watercraft has been scrapped or destroyed.

  • Step 2

    Submit the notification

    Submit your freely worded notification of permanent deregistration either by e-mail to kirjaamo@traficom.fi or by mail to: 

    Finnish Transport and Communications Agency Traficom 

    PO Box 320 

    00059 TRAFICOM

  • Step 3

    Approval of deregistration

    The application is processed within 30 days. Once your application has been approved, you will receive a decision concerning it. A permanently deregistered watercraft can never be re-registered again.
