Bahamas Maritime Authority
Ship Registry. The function of the Authority is to register vessels, enforce ship safety requirements and constantly monitor and improve standards. We also represent The Bahamas at the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and other international bodies such as the European Commission and the US Coast Guard. The Authority, like the Bahamas Government, believes that standards should not be sacrificed in order to attract tonnage. In fact ships that do not meet international standards are not accepted onto the register. A commitment to quality, compliance and continuous improvement are expected from all Bahamian-registered ships, their owners and crews and we are proud of our reputation throughout the international shipping industry.
