St Kitts & Nevis International Ship Registry (SKANReg) headquartered in London, UK; is an ISO 9001:2015 certified Flag State Administration and is certified by American Bureau of Shipping.
Headed by Liam Ryan, International Registrar of Shipping & Seamen / Chief Executive Officer, the Ship Registry aims to be a “White listed” nation in the Memorandum of Understandings established by Paris, Tokyo, Caribbean et al. To achieve this status, the registry applies a robust due diligence procedure to ensure that vessels wishing to register under the federation are of the required standard, meet the required convention requirements and trade in accordance with international law.
The registry is reaping rewards in its technological standing to deliver services from all parts of the world. To do this, the Registry employs consultants in strategic locations to meet all time zones. State of the art technology and systems are used to deliver electronic documents to our ships within the same day1.
Since the commencement of operations in 2005, SKANReg has registered 3000 vessels and issue documents for 44,000 seafarers.
To promote our services, we engage Maritime Registrars around the world and have a presence in key shipping locations such as Singapore, Dubai, Cyprus, and Greece amongst many more. Maritime Registrars are a local point of contact for shipowners and ship managers for their everyday registration needs including the certification of documents for submission as true copies of the original.
The registry is active at International Maritime Organization (IMO) level and participates in relevant meetings and networking events in the Maritime Industry such as Sea Asia, Posidonia, Seatrade Middle East Maritime and many more.
In 2022, we launched our drive to register large yachts, therefore SKANReg accepts the UK/MCA Large Yacht Code as the regulatory framework for large yachts not more than 12 passengers.
All vessels registered are subject to a Merchant Shipping Act based on English Law. Ships can be mortgaged by execution of a simple mortgage deed and lodged with the Head Office.
St. Kitts & Nevis Ship Registry is a member of the Maritime Accident Investigators International Forum (MAIIF). One of the greatest hallmarks of the St. Kitts and Nevis Ship Registry is our competitive fee structure, instant communication and fast-turnaround of applications, to enable ship owners to cope with today’s commercial pressures.
To be the flag of choice for ship owners, the St. Kitts & Nevis International Ship Registry strives to improve its services on a daily basis.
