Q & A – Shipping

Under the Merchant Shipping Act a Malta registered ship or yacht has to be owned by:

  • A Malta registered company
  • A Foreign body corporate
  • An EU citizen.

As a result, in order for any non EU resident to register his yacht or ship under the Maltese flag, he has first to register a company in Malta.

We shall be most happy to assist in the registration process should you wish to go ahead with your plans.
