As the European yachting season begins Palau International Ship Registry (PISR) has upgraded yacht registration with a number of custom options and an innovative Yacht Safety Code.

Instead of a fixed term for yacht registration, PISR offers one, three or five year registrations without any annual fees. This is proving to be popular with yacht owners who can take advantage of the registry’s competitive fees without being tied into a long registration contract. As with every vessel in the Palau fleet all yachts are offered the same dedicated services of that include a qualified network of professional yacht surveyors combined with a worldwide network of Deputy Registrars in 24 maritime hubs.

Our new yacht registrations also offer owners a choice of different costs and options for chartering and as yachts are divided into pleasure yachts and commercial yachts we have developed our own Yacht Safety Code for class offering the same standards of service and the same quality of operations to yacht owners, regardless of size, location or status.

Our Yacht Registration offers owners/managers tailored made solutions on fees and code application. We understand the implications and differentiation on pleasure and commercial use of yachts hence PISR developed a Yacht Safety Code that offers quality standards regardless of size, area of operation and classification status of the yacht.

Panos Kirnidis, CEO of PISR, believes the new registrations offer owners and operators a comprehensive service tailored to the specific needs of yachts.

“This is a very demanding sector and often yacht owners have felt they are neglected when it comes to registering their vessels. This is not the case with PISR. We have developed unique services with dedicated Yachting Surveyors worldwide and Yachting technical support 24/7 from our Greek HQ. Registering a yacht with PISR will give owners the flexibility to be chartered for up to 90 days without any changes to their private status.  Flexibility is something our yacht owners have asked for and we are pleased to offer.”

Registering a yacht with PISR is a simple process with a guarantee of same day service; competitive fees and 24/7 service from PISR with the ability to switch registration from pleasure to commercial quickly and efficiently. In an era when digital operations are expected by ship owners, PISR retains its forward thinking approach to ship registration.
