Yacht owners now have more of a choice when it comes to registering their vessels as Palau International Ship Registry (PISR) is offering new yacht registrations a set of industry leading discounts and dedicated services.

PISR is known as The SMART Registry and was confirmed as the fastest growing flag in the shipping world in 2017 with an impressive 43.2% growth in the number of vessels joining the registry since 2013, as published in Fairplay magazine. Now Panos Kirnidis, CEO of the registry, is looking to offer the same advantages that merchant ships have seen to yacht owners.
