1 Ship Registration in Malta October 2017 kpmg.com.mt
2 Malta developed a strong legal and regulatory platform that enabled the Maltese Flag to become an established and reputable International Ship Register which is now one of the largest in the world. The Eight Cross Flag is one of the most recognizable in our seas and oceans ranking 1st in Europe and 6th worldwide in terms of registered tonnage. Such results were achieved through the constant revamping of Malta s legislative body, within the IMO s framework, in terms of safety and compliance.this approach was consolidated by Malta s accession to the European Union in 2004, its placement within the Paris MOU White List, as well as the maximisation of opportunities deriving from the EU Tonnage Tax Guidelines and the adoption by the Flag of a 24/7 customer oriented approach. Within this scenario, Maltese Authorities developed specific legislation that takes into account the distinctive requirements of the yacht and superyacht industry and makes registering private and commercial yachts under the Malta Flag an attractive proposition.
3 Why Register in Malta? Competitive registry fees and attractive Tonnage Tax mechanism; Unrestricted transfer or sale of shares in Maltese Ship Owning Companies; Malta is a White List Paris MOU Member State thus increasing the marketability of its vessels; No trading restrictions imposed on Malta Flagged vessels; Vessels fulfilling requirements under the Merchant Shipping Act are exempt from tax on income, duty on transfers or assignments, donation and succession and from dividends paid to shareholders; Absence of Exchange Control Authorisations required for the purpose of incorporating or operating a shipping company (this also applies when taking security for loans or other facilities over Maltese-registered vessels owned by companies registered locally); No restrictions on the nationality of crew members on board Malta-flagged vessels; No restrictions on the nationality of shareholders and directors of Maltese shipping companies; Possibility to register a vessel under the name of a foreign company through the appointment of a Maltese Resident Agent. 24/7 Efficient and Easily Accessible Flag Administration; Worldwide presence of Maltese Consular Offices in strategic ports; and A number of double taxation and bilateral maritime agreements with other maritime nations. Ship Financing Malta created a secure environment for Ship Financiers by providing their interests with a high and reliable level of protection with standards comparable to the ones found in the English Merchant Shipping Act. Advantages of registering a Mortgage in Malta Mortgages constitute an executive title and are immediately enforceable upon default without prior court judgement or similar order; High ranking of mortgaged secured interests; Mortgage attaches to insurance proceeds and to proceeds from indemnities for mishaps; A registered mortgage takes priority over special privileges or liens not previously recorded on appurtenances or accessories of a vessel; Possibility to register a mortgage in favour of a security trustee acting under a trust for the benefit of a person/s or a syndicate to whom a debt or other obligation is due. Further mortgages, transfers and deletion of Vessels can be completed only with mortgagee s prior written consent; if deleted by Maltese Authorities the mortgage would still continue to attach to the vessel;
4 Number and Figures of a Growing Flag Gross Tons registered under Malta Flag; Increase of 8.7% since previous year; 69.9 Gross Tons registered under Malta Flag; Increase of 12.5% since previous year Total No. of Vessels registered under Malta Flag as at (942 Vessels registered in 2016) 7716 Total No. of Vessels registered under Malta Flag as at (837 Vessels registered in 2016) 511 No of Super - Yachts up to (or 54.2% of the total newly registered vessels) 575 No of Super - Yachts up to (Increase in 14.8% since previous year) 9 years Average age of vessels registered in Malta in 2016 (average age of total fleet as at is 12 years) KPMG s Shipping & Yachting Advisory Team prides itself of its Maritime Accounting, VAT, Auditing and Legal Specialists able to provide a 24/7 pre and post-registration service and to ensure ongoing compliance vis-à-vis Maltese transport Authorities
