Malta Flag
The Malta flag is an exceptionally well-regarded maritime flag and it is the EU’s largest ship registry. If you are running a commercial vessel then your customers have the confidence of knowing that the vessel is kept to a very high standard. We can look after your Malta flag registration and suggest a suitable solution depending on your use and residency. This is open to EU residents and non-EU residents (through a corporate structure). We can look after this as well as any management oversight you might need on board.
Why is the island of Malta one of the worlds top jurisdictions for Yacht Registrations?
The reasons are numerous, least of all that Malta is a gem in the middle of the Mediterranean offering 300 days of sunshine a year. The fact that it is part of the EU and that English is one of their national languages all help, but the quick, simple registration process, Tax and VAT incentives are much more important.
Malta has the largest ship and yacht registry in Europe and the 6th largest in the world.
