Register your vessel under the Singapore flag

A respected registry, a bankable owner and a resident manager - handled end to end. We set up the owning company, arrange the resident manager and carry the vessel from provisional to permanent registration.

What you need

Built for owners outside Singapore

A Singapore owning company

Foreign owners register through a Singapore-incorporated company. We set it up with the required paid-up capital.

A resident manager

Every Singapore ship needs a manager resident in Singapore. We arrange a genuine, accountable one.

Vessel & owner documents

Proof of ownership, deletion certificate, class and tonnage papers - we give you one complete list on day one.

How it works

Flagged in four steps

1

Scope the registration

Vessel, owner and whether there is finance. We confirm the route and a fixed fee.

2

Set up the owner

We incorporate the owning company and arrange the resident manager.

3

Provisional registration

We file for provisional registry so the vessel can trade while documents are completed.

4

Permanent & mortgage

We complete permanent registration and register the mortgage, if any.

Questions

Quick answers

Can a foreign owner register a ship in Singapore?

Yes - through a Singapore-incorporated company that owns the vessel, with a resident manager. We set up both.

How fast can the vessel be flagged?

Provisional registration can be achieved quickly once the owning company and core documents are in place, letting the ship trade while the permanent registration is finalised.

Do you handle the mortgage?

We prepare and register the ship mortgage and the security documents (assignment of earnings and insurances). We do the legal and documentary side of ship finance - we do not provide the capital.

What does it cost?

A fixed scope, quoted after a short call, covering the owning company, resident manager and registration. No surprises once we start.
