Who can request extension of the lien beyond $1500?

Extending a vessel lien beyond a set amount is an action tied to the owner of record. The legal owner shown on the vessel’s registration certificate is the one authorized to request such an extension because this person is the recognized owner of the vessel. The harbor master handles harbor operations, not lien extensions. A lien claimant cannot unilaterally extend the lien beyond the limit, and the city council has no role in individual vessel lien actions. Therefore, the registered owner is the correct person to request the extension.
