Flag Change & Flag Registration
When a vessel undergoes a flag change , it means the ship's country of registration has been officially updated. This change affects regulatory compliance, safety standards, and operational jurisdiction. The website will display the vessel's previous flag, new flag, date of change, and any relevant certification updates to ensure transparency and accurate records for stakeholders, authorities, and maritime partners.
Changing a vessel's flag (i.e., registration country or state) usually requires:
- Vessel Name
- IMO Number (International Maritime Organization number)
- MMSI Number (Maritime Mobile Service Identity, if applicable)
- Current Flag/Country of Registration
- Desired Flag/Country of Registration
- Vessel Type (Cargo, Passenger, Fishing, Yacht, etc.)
- Gross Tonnage / Net Tonnage
- Length Overall (LOA)
- Owner's Name & Contact Information
- Previous Registration Certificate (upload)
- Proof of Ownership (Bill of Sale, Charter Agreement)
- Insurance Certificate (if already insured)
