🎥 #Repost from Blue Lagoon Tours on Instagram. Getting ready to set sail 🇯🇲 🎣 #DidYouKnow that all vessels operating in Jamaican waters are required to be registered. Only registered vessels may engage in Local Trade in Jamaican Waters. Local Trade is any activity in which the vessel is used, to generate revenue (whether directly or indirectly). Registration of a vessel in Jamaica, ascribes to it a Jamaican nationality. The vessel must then fly the Jamaica Flag. Want to learn more about the ships the MAJ registers?

We love to see yachts flying the Jamaican flag, 🇯🇲 but #didyouknow that The Jamaica Ship Registry (JSR) will register all eligible ships in the interest of any qualified owner submitting an application for registration providing the application can fulfil the requirements of the Shipping Act, 1998? Visit www.maritimejamaica.com to learn more about yacht registration!
