25. (1) If it is shown to the satisfaction of the Registrar of Shipping that the certificate of registry has been lost, stolen or destroyed or has become defaced or illegible, the Registrar of Shipping may issue to the owner a duplicate of that certificate, which shall be marked as such, and shall be of the same effect as the original.
Where a duplicate certificate of registry is issued, the original, if then available or if subsequently found or recovered, shall be surrendered to the Registrar.
A person who fails, without reasonable cause, to surrender a certificate of registry when required to do so by subsection (2) commits an offence and is liable on summary conviction to a fine of three thousand dollars.
