Maritime & Shipping Lawyer

The Cayman Islands Shipping Registry has developed a strong reputation as an attractive quality ship registry.

Our Marine and Shipping team are available to provide assistance in connection with a variety of matters relating to Cayman Islands shipping laws. These include assisting vessel owners and purchasers of ships, yachts and other vessels in registering vessels with or transferring a foreign-flagged vessel to the Cayman Islands Shipping Registry as well as advising banks, brokers, management companies and other financing institutions on the preparation and registration of mortgages and other security documentation over Cayman Islands registered vessels.

We also work closely with the Cayman Maritime & Aviation City which enables businesses within the shipping and maritime industries to set up a physical presence in the Cayman Islands.
