The Bermuda Shipping and Maritime Authority (BSMA) aims for Bermuda to be the leading ship register of choice for quality owners by creating valuable partnership while evolving the maritime sector in Bermuda
Bermuda registers all types of ships: cargo, cruise, yachts and offshore and is a member of the Red Ensign Group (REG). The registered owner is not required to be incorporated in Bermuda, but if wished, BSMA can help you set up a company in Bermuda which is quick and inexpensive. The Bermuda registry is “problem solving, solution focused” with technical experts who know your ships giving a fast effective response 24/7.
