A Registry Built for Global Commerce
The Saint Lucia Ship Registry is an outstanding open registry, delivering an unmatched flag state experience, combining the best of the Caribbean and the best in international maritime practice.
Sailing under the Saint Lucia flag state
As the Saint Lucia flag state, the Registry is responsible for the ships that fly the national flag wherever they trade. Saint Lucia flag state services cover the issue of statutory certificates, the oversight of surveys and inspections on registered vessels, safe manning documents, and the certification and endorsement of the seafarers who serve on board. These services are delivered by the Saint Lucia Maritime Authority and sit alongside Saint Lucia ship registration, Saint Lucia seafarer certification and Saint Lucia seafarer documentation.
A ship registered here is subject to the international conventions that Saint Lucia applies, including SOLAS, MARPOL, STCW and the Maritime Labour Convention. Registered vessels are surveyed and inspected against those standards, and the certificates issued on behalf of the flag state are the documents that port state control officers check in ports abroad.
