146. (1) If the owner, managing owner or agent of any Cayman Islands ship has reason, owing to the non-appearance of the ship or to any other circumstance, to believe that the ship has been lost, the owner, managing owner or agent shall cause a reasonable search to be made for the ship and shall, as soon as may be convenient, send to the Chief Executive Officer a notice in writing signed by the owner, managing owner or agent and stating —
the name of the ship, the port to which the ship belongs and the official number, if any, of the ship; and
a report of the loss of the ship and the circumstances and probable cause of such loss.
A person who, being the owner, managing owner or agent of a ship, fails without reasonable cause, to comply with this section within a reasonable period from the time when the owner, managing owner or agent has reason to believe that the ship has been lost, commits an offence and is liable on summary conviction to a fine of five thousand dollars.
