Lease of registered ships

(1) The provisions of sections 566, 566a, 566e to 567d apply accordingly in the case of alienation or encumbrance of a ship entered in the ship register.

(2) A disposition over the rent made by the lessor prior to the devolution of ownership and relating to the period of time during which the acquirer is entitled is effective in relation to the acquirer. The same applies to a legal transaction that is entered into between the lessee and the lessor on the claim to rent, in particular regarding the payment of the rent; however, a legal transaction entered into after the devolution of ownership is ineffective if the lessee, when entering into the transaction, is aware of the devolution of ownership. Section 566d applies accordingly.
