Yacht Code

The Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) Yacht Code 2021, as amended through August 2023, has been updated as the RMI Yacht Code 2026 to provide practical rule application for the increasing innovative designs of superyachts, new construction methods and modern operational practices. The Code will come into force on 1 January 2026. It serves as a robust framework for safety and compliance, especially for newbuild projects and shipyards. It reflects lessons learned and best practices developed in recent years, while aligning the document with revised instruments from the IMO.
