Mauritius

Mauritius is arguably the friendliest nation for marine vessels registered under their flag. Not only are the sales of ships, shipping company dividends, capital gains, crew salaries and parts exempt from taxes and duties; any and all marine vessels used for any purpose and less than 15 years old are suitable for parallel, permanent and provisional registration.

The registration procedure is easy and fast, with no more than eight weeks from the time you form a Mauritius-based company to receiving your final ship registration confirmation certificate. Yacht and ship owners as well as shipping concerns also can feel confident that the Mauritius maritime community has the experience and knowledge necessary to properly respect the industry, as they are the world’s leaders in passing all manner of maritime regulations.

The Republic of Mauritius, independent from the United Kingdom since 1968, lies in the western Indian Ocean just east of Seychelles. With over 9,000 companies registered under this offshore jurisdiction, Mauritius has seen much economic growth from this sector. Their eventual goals include making the entire island a duty-free zone as well as one large Internet wifi hotspot.
