WRONG.....you DO need to do 'something' See back of certificate itself.
You are required by the regulations to return the certificate when ownership of the vesel changes. And, significantly, failure to surrender a Certificate of Registry when required to by the Regulations is an offence, punishable by a fine (at least!)

6. How long does SSR registration last? Registration on Part III of the Register lasts for 5 years. The date of expiry shows on the ship's certificate of registry. You may apply to renew the ship's registration up to 3 months before the certificate expires. Registration ceases immediately if a ship is sold or any details change which appear on the certificate of registry. Where this happens the registered owner must return the certificate with a brief explanation of the circumstances of any change. You must also notify the Registry of any change of address.
