a vessel name is important because it give you the following information

1. to find Sailing Schedules for a specific vessel.
2. Vessel Particulars including Lloyds Number, Year Built, Vessel Flag.

Hi Pals,

I agreed that with the name of vessel you can trace all details, to insure it or the like, but Vessel Name is compulsory in a Bill of Lading in many local laws, and in international rules.

Other comments appreciated
