INITIAL REGISTRATION

Applications for Registration (Provisional/Permanent or Special Purpose 3-month) can be made through the offices of our worldwide network of Maritime Registrars, a Service Provider in St. Kitts & Nevis or direct to the International Registrar of Shipping & Seamen at SKANReg Head Office.

Quotations for Registration Services can be obtained by submitting a written request for the Registration Service required.

Application Forms, including a list of documents required for Registration, can be downloaded from this website. These can be submitted by email for Provisional Registration.

PROVISIONAL REGISTRATION

Any vessel that applies for a standard registration and is accepted will be registered Provisionally for 6 months. This allows you, the owner, to collate all of the documents in original format, as per Registration Procedure RP3.

The date on which your vessel is registered with be referred to by St. Kitts & Nevis International Ship Registry as the “Anniversary Date” or the ‘Date of First Registration”. This date will be used to calculate when the vessels' annual taxes are due and when certificates are calculated for expiry.

Upon achieving Permanent Status, your vessels’ registration will be upgraded for a period of 4 years from the Date of First Registration.

Regardless of whether your vessel is provisionally or permanently registered, the vessel will incur annual fees as of the Anniversary date.

SPECIAL PURPOSE REGISTRATION

Special Purpose Registration is available for delivery voyages or one-off voyages, with the registration period being 3 months and not extendable. The Registration procedure is a simplified and speedier process, with the majority of registrations being completed in one working day if all documents are correctly submitted at the one time. Please apply to the International Registrar of Shipping and Seamen, a Maritime Registrar or Service provider for full details and costs if you wish to register a ship under this procedure
