Vessel
Flagging
Which flag is best for my yacht? It depends, among other things, on
how the vessel is to be owned and how and where the vessel is to be
used – or it may be as simple as the owner’s preference and how
the flag looks on the back of the vessel.
For assistance with flagging or re-flagging a vessel, contact CYA at info@cyacht.net

ISM
In order to ensure safety at sea and prevent injury or loss of human
life and damage to the marine environment, the International Maritime
Organization (IMO) implemented the International Safety Management Code
(ISM).
ISM plans are required
on all commercially operated charter yachts in excess of 500 tons and
has gained in popularity for owners of smaller vessels – commonly
referred to as mini-ISM.
ISM plans are comprehensive
and require constant monitoring but at CYA our strategic partnerships
with companies specializing in this service can make the initial set-up
process and the on-going management of the plan very smooth; and affordable.
For more information
on setting up an ISM plan contact CYA at info@cyacht.net
Cruising
Where is your vessel going and how is it going to be used? What are
the requirements for entering different territories and can my vessel
charter there? Does a flag make a difference? What about VAT?
All are important questions
that need to be answered BEFORE you cruise to ensure that your vessel
is properly documented for its intended use. Failure to do so can lead
to financial penalties as well as possible seizure of the vessel. Contact
CYA for questions regarding all of your cruising issues.
