(b)the following documents have been transmitted to the Registrar;
(i)a copy of the application and declaration required by sub-paragraph (a) transmitted by the registrar at the existing port of registration;

(8) A transfer of registration under this regulation shall not affect the rights of any person mentioned in paragraph (1)(a) of this regulation.
