Covid-19 rules launched for St Kitts and Nevis International Ship Registry

The St Kitts and Nevis International Ship Registry (SKANReg) has put in place a series of measures designed to help shipowners and managers as they embark on the road to normalising their own operations post-Covid-19. The newly implemented support measures are directed at new clients as well as existing clients and cover areas such as assistance with taxation, seafarer documentation and registration matters. The flag recently announced that it has held discussions with its recognised organisations about the possibility of conducting remote surveys because of Covid-19, and has issued flag state requirements should such recognised organisations propose a remote survey on behalf of the shipowner.
