Advantages of Registering Shipping Vessels in the Cayman Islands
The Cayman Islands Shipping Registry (CISR) is a Category One British Registry, able to register any vessel of any size, age and type (except commercial fishing yachts), from small pleasure yachts to super tankers, provided the relevant standards are met.
How to Qualify as a Shipping Vessel Owner
To be qualified to be registered as an owner of a vessel on the CISR it is necessary for a person to be from one of a number of jurisdictions mandated by Merchant Shipping Legislation.
Benefits of Registering Aircrafts in Cayman
The Cayman Islands is becoming a popular jurisdiction for the registration of private aircrafts, particularly with helicopters operating from Cayman-registered super- and mega-yachts.
