Isle of Man Ship Registry Introduces Annual Fee
The Isle of Man Ship Registry is to introduce an annual registration fee – for the first time in its 25 year history. Uniquely, unlike other registries, the fee will not be dependent upon ship size or type.
The fee has been set at an economical £700 per merchant vessel which allows direct and favourable comparison between the costs of registration with competitor flags.
