Ship & Yacht Registration

PANAMA
Our firm's qualified staff can take all necessary steps on behalf of the client to provisionally or permanently register a ship or yacht under the Panamanian flag through the directorate General of Merchant Marine and Public Registry. Panama has regained its leadership in the field of Ship Registration and is currently the open registry with the largest number of registered vessels and tonnage.

The success of Panama as an open registry is due mainly to the good image of the territory as a politically and economically stable country and its other numerous advantages. We likewise handle all formalities in connection with navigation licenses, radio permits, communication licenses, charter party registration and any maritime certifications required for international navigation, both for ships and yachts and for crewmembers. In particular, we advise our clients on all aspects relating to ship mortgages on vessels registered in Panama.

 

BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS
We are also prepared to render ship and yacht registration services in the British Virgin Islands. The main advantages are the attractive registration and annual fees. Ships registered in the BVI fly the Red Ensign Flag and are entitled to the support of the British Consular and High Commission, and Royal Naval protection.
