Cayman Islands Shipping Registry
Depending on the flag state you wish to register your vessel in, you will have to meet the standards and requirements as set by the relevant marine registry. The Cayman Islands flag state employs the Cayman Islands Shipping Registry, also known as CISR, to aid the administration and activities performed by the MACI (Maritime Authority of the Cayman Islands). In order to gage a complete understanding of the requirements of your necessary shipping registry you are advise to enlist the services of a professional consultancy firm that specialize in marine vessel registration.

Cayman Islands Shipping Registry explained
The Cayman Islands Shipping Registry was established in 1903 and works to help the Marie Authority of the Cayman Islands administer and regulate maritime activity. The CISR has obtained the status of Category 1 of British Registries along with countries such as Gibraltar, Isle of Man and the UK. Obtaining the category 1 status subsequently allows the CISR to register any sized vessels.
In order for the Cayman Islands Shipping Registry to register a vessel, it is paramount that the vessel meets all the necessary marine related international requirements as set by the CISR.
The main responsibilities of the Cayman Islands Shipping Registry include:
- Vessel registration
- Mortgage registration
- Marine surveys and auditing services
- Implementing policies to prevent marine pollution and ensure maritime safety
- Carry out investigations for marine casualty cases in relation to Cayman Islands registered vessels regardless of where the incident occurred, or foreign flagged ships whereby the incident occurs in the Caymans flag state territory
- Facilitate the ongoing development and growth of the Cayman Islands as an internationally recognized maritime centre.
