Mortgage Recordation
with the US Coast Guard or the appropriate state agency
A preferred Ships Mortgage may be recorded against a documented vessel. In the event of a default, the preferred mortgage has a priority over most other maritime liens.
For this reason, a lender will often request that the vessel be documented and its loan be secured by the filing of a preferred ships mortgage.
