There would also be an increase in revenue for the UK Flag which would be positive to UK PLC.</p><p> </p><p>For bareboat charter-out, there would be an impact in that the ship is suspended from the UK Flag and therefore revenue is impacted but only for the time that the vessel is chartered out. When the vessel returns to the UK Flag, revenue would increase as the vessel does not leave the UK Flag which has previously been the case.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p> answering member constituency Wealden answering member printed Ms Nusrat Ghani question first answered 12/06/2019 11:32:31 answering member 4460 label Biography information for Ms Nusrat Ghani
