MAIN ADVANTAGES OF SAN MARINO SHIP REGISTRATION

San Marino Ship Register’s work is in line with the International Maritime Organisation’s mission statement:

Safe

Operate by the highest standards of compliance with national and international regulations for the safety of navigation.

Secure

Constantly up to date with current discourse around the highest security standards, and the arising threats linked to cyber security.

Sustainable

Foster environmental protection and innovation towards higher sustainability in the maritime industry.

Some of the advantages of flying the San Marino flag:

  • No additional requirements are posed at the national level to the standards set by the international conventions.
  • The procedures to verify compliance are efficient, fast, and thorough.
  • Paperwork and bureaucracy are reduced to the minimum necessary to satisfy international requirements.
  • A small national government and open registry allow for flexibility and tailored customer service.
  • San Marino allows for commercial registration without differentiating between charter with and without crew.
  • San Marino allows vessels in private use to be temporarily engaged in trade for a period up to 90 days.
  • San Marino allows for commercial registration to be temporarily suspended in order to switch to private use, with a simple online procedure.

Smart

We offer efficient and simple solutions for registration and compliance.

  • Registration can be completed online or via email.
  • Once all documents have been submitted, and an initial inspection carried out, Certificate of Registry and other flag certificates can be issued in 48 hours.
  • Digital electronic certificates allow for quick delivery times, with fewer burdens linked to original paper certificates delivered to ports.
  • Seafarer endorsements also have a 48-hour response time. A letter of acknowledgement is issued to seafarers until the full verification and endorsement process is completed.
  • Seafarer discharge procedures are kept to a minimum: a discharge letter by the captain is sufficient, as San Marino does not require seafarers’ discharge books.

Digital

We guarantee digital access to documentation and information.

Digital certificates with electronic signatures ensure limited paperwork and delivery times and can be quickly verified online on the www.smsr.sm website in the “online services” section.

Certificates issued directly by the San Marino Maritime Authority are in line with the IMO circular FAL.5/Circ.39/Rev.2 for digital certificates and electronic signatures.
