Enclosed letter
The Beilbrief (also Beylbrief , Bielbrief or Bylbrief ; English certificate of registry , French certificat de construction ) was a ship's paper about shipbuilding , ship purchase or ship loan .
General
The word Beylbrief comes from "build" ( Swedish byla ), it appeared in Switzerland as early as 1567 . He was certified by the proper legal requirements design of a ship.
use
There was also a Bodmerei letter that was issued exclusively at the Bodmerei . If the creditor did not carry the risks of the sea , he would get higher interest rates , a Bodmerie letter was available; if he carried the nautical hazards, it was a letter enclosed. The word appeared for the first time in 1722: “Beil-brieff is the name of the contract that is drawn up with shipbuilders for the construction of one or more ships”. The General Prussian Land Law (APL) of June 1794 stipulated that merchant ships could only be used as cargo ships if a “Beylbrief” was issued (II 8, § 1392 APL). According to §§ 1389 ff. APL, the Beylbrief not only certifies the seaworthiness , but also that the shipowner has fulfilled all conditions to operate a shipping company; the shipowners were obliged to equip their ships with notification letters, among other things (II 8, § 1424 APL). If the ship financing was used exclusively for shipbuilding, there was the enclosed letter, while the Bodmereibrief also concerned the financing of the sea freight .
Todays situation
Today the Beilbrief replace the ship's certificate ( english Certificate of Registry ) or the Tonnage Certificate ( English Tonnage Certificate ), which are also among the ship's papers.
