English translation of the principle

It is sufficient for the agency of the vessel’s maritime agent to be established in accordance with the general rules for those with an interest in the cargo to have the right to implead the agent as the carrier’s representative and in the enforcement of judicial judgments. This is not altered by the failure to enter the vessel’s maritime agent in the register of ships’ agents. Example.
Arabic original
كفاية أن تثبت وكالة الوكيل البحري للسفينة طبقاً للقواعد العامة حتى يكون لأصحاب الشأن في البضاعة الحق في إختصامه بكونه ممثلاً للناقل وفي تنفيذ الأحكام القضائية. لا يغير من ذلك لعدم إدراج الوكيل البحري للسفينة بسجل قيد وكلاء السفن. مثال.
