Officials found a plaque with the name Bel Amica but said that initial checks with shipping registers had found no yacht with that name.

So boats don't come with a VIN-like ID number for identification purposes?

They have builder's plates with hull numbers on them, if they're manufactured or custom-built. Something that size will no doubt have a registry somewhere, if only Lloyd's. Horrible writing in the article.
