Survey & Certification: Fees

The Ship Registry charges fees for its work based on a set of hourly rates for survey work in different locations. Fees are only charged for work done and there are no annual charges based on tonnage or other factors.

Charges are reasonable and in a typical comparison the costs of registry and survey fees for a ship under the Isle of Man flag are less than half the equivalent costs of operating under other flags.

For a full list of current fees see the Merchant Shipping (Fees) Regulations 2008.
