Ship Registration

Provisional and permanent registration of ships under the Barbados flag, with registration documents issued digitally by the London Registry.

Description

Quotations for initial (provisional) registration come from the Principal Registrar or any Regional Registrar, and the London Registry then completes the provisional registration. Provisional registration gives a six-month period to meet all requirements for permanent registration. All registration documents are issued digitally, and BMSR states that registration can be completed in less than 2 hours once all documents are submitted.

Key features

  • Provisional registration documents include applications for the Ship Station Licence (SSL), EPIRB registration, declaration of ownership, minimum safe manning and DMLC Part I
  • Bill of sale or builder's certificate, Blue Card pollution certificates, evidence of P&I cover, and ISM and class documents
  • Permanent registration requires the original bill of sale, a deletion certificate from the former flag, a carving and marking note and the operating company's DOC

Applications

Owners and managers of merchant ships transferring to, or newbuilds entering, the Barbados flag.
