KB Term:

A ShipRegister is a record of each Ship and owner registered with the maritime authorities of a country or possession, colony, or territory of a country. Ships on the ShipRegister of a given region fly the flag of that region and are subject to its maritime regulations and rules of taxation.

Children	FlagOfConvenienceRegister	FlagOfConvenienceRegister is the subclass of ShipRegisters in which most of the registered ships are owned outside of the GeopoliticalArea to which the registry belongs. InternalShipRegisters and OffshoreShipRegisters both may act as FlagOfConvenienceRegisters, if permitted by the maritime regulations of the registry owner.
	InternalShipRegister	InternalShipRegister is a subset of a NationalShipRegister. Ships on an internal register fly the same flag as on the national register but are subject to different taxation and crewing rules, which are typically more lenient. An internal register may function primarily as a FlagOfConvenienceRegister.
	NationalShipRegister	A NationalShipRegister is a record of the Ships that are officially registered with a particular Nation, including their tonnage and ownership.
	OffshoreShipRegister	OffshoreShipRegister is the class of ShipRegisters maintained by a colony, territory, or possession (OffshoreArea) of a nation. Typically such a register has more lenient maritime regulations with respect to taxation and crewing of ships than does the national register associated with the country of which the offshore area is a dependency.
