Registry Overview

Malta has a national registration system for ships and yachts. This is administered by the Merchant Shipping Directorate. The country has two official languages including Maltese and English. It is a Southern European island country located in the Mediterranean Sea. Malta is one of the more popular locations in Europe for offshore yacht registration.

Registration Office

Malta yacht registrations are administered by the Merchant Shipping Directorate office. They are reasonably responsive although some persistence may be required. Their personnel will readily correspond in English by either telephone, email, or regular mail. Contact information may be found by visiting their website.

Registration Requirements

The Merchant Shipping Directorate considers a private registered yacht to be any pleasure yacht, of 6 meters in length or more, which does not carry passengers for reward and is not engaged in trade but is used for the sole purpose of the owner.

Recording Methods

Malta yacht registration is evidenced by a Certificate of Registry which is supported by an underlying Transcript of Registry. The transcript is basically an abstract of title which shows ownership data, vessel specifications, any encumbrances, and a history of such recordings.

Registration Search

In order to determine the current registered ownership, vessel particulars, and any encumbrances for a Malta registered yacht it will be necessary to obtain a Transcript of Registry. These may be ordered by contacting the Shipping Directorate. Their personnel will in turn send ordering instructions by fax or email. Payment may be effected by credit card or through a bank wire transfer.
