Section 1 - Introduction

This paper sets out the Ship Registry’s proposals to change its fees with effect from

1 April 2022.

For 2022/23 the Ship Registry proposes to:

make an inflationary increase of 2% to all existing fees (rounded up/down to the

nearest £1 or £5);

introduce a 15% discount from the annual registration fee for cargo ships,

commercial yachts and passenger ships capable of using alternative fuels;

introduce a 15% discount from the annual registration fee for cargo ships,

commercial yachts and passenger ships capable of using shore-side energy

(“cold ironing”);

introduce fees for pleasure yachts maintaining Large Commercial Yacht Code

compliance;

clarify fees for remote surveys;

introduce specific fees for interim ISPS, ISM and MLC verifications for

commercial yachts;

streamline Company audit fees, specify remote Company audit fees and align

MLC private seafarer and recruitment placement services fees;

clarify that launch or agents fees for mandatory general inspections of cargo

ships are charged at cost; and

remove redundant fee for discharge book.

Section 2 of this paper provides some background and further information about the

proposed changes to the fees.

Section 3 of this paper sets out the schedules from the current fees Regulations

marked with amendments and show the existing fee alongside the new fee.

Section 2 - Changes to Ship Registry Fees

Background

The Ship Registry has been gradually transitioning fees into a ‘front-loaded’ system where

the majority of fees are consolidated into an annual registration fee.

The 1 April 2017 saw a radical change to the way the Ship Registry carries out its flag state

inspections with a significant change to its fees structure to support this. In light of this, no

fees revision was carried out in 2018 to give time for the effects of the changes to be fully

realised.

In 2019 the Ship Registry increased the annual registration fee for cargo ships by 10%,

introduced new fees based on size for pleasure vessels, increased fees for STCW Certificates

and Liability Certificates and increased all other fees by 2%.

In 2020 the Ship Registry increased all fees by 2.6% and no changes were made to ship

registry fees in 2021.

References to “Schedules” in the following section are a reference to the Schedules of the current Merchant Shipping (Fees) Regulations 2020 which are included in section 3 of this paper marked up to show the proposed amendments and the current fee alongside the new fee. Proposal 1 – inflationary increase

The Ship Registry proposes to make an inflationary increase of 2% to all existing fees

charged by the Ship Registry (rounded up/down to the nearest £1 or £5);

Rationale:

Small, regular incremental increases ensure the fees keep pace with inflation.

The cost of operating an international ship register is increasing as IMO

introduces more regulations and greater scrutiny of Flag States (III Code).

Digitisation requires investment in digital platforms to stay ahead of the

competition.

The Ship Registry needs to balance its books to maintain a cost neutral platform.

Proposal 2 – 15% alternative fuel discount from annual registration fees (Schedules

2, 3 & 4)

The Ship Registry proposes to introduce a 15% discount from annual registration fees for

cargo ships, commercial yachts and passenger ships which are capable of using alternative

fuels. The fuels currently identified are:

5

Liquefied natural gas (LNG)Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG)

Methanol

Bio Fuel

Hydrogen

Batteries

Fuel cell systems

Wind assisted propulsion

Ammonia

Rationale:

The Ship Registry is committed to supporting ship owners and operators that are investing

in green technology including alternative fuel technologies which reduce emissions, are

considered to be bridging fuels (those fuels that reduce emissions but are not carbon free)

or are zero carbon fuels.

Proposal 3 – 15% shore – side energy discount from annual registration fees

(Schedules 2, 3 & 4)

The Ship Registry proposes to introduce a 15% discount from the annual registration fee for

cargo ships, commercial yachts and passenger ships capable of using shore-side energy

(cold ironing) to provide continuous electrical power to the ships emergency equipment,

refrigeration, cooling, heating, lighting and other equipment while the ship is at berth with

its main and auxiliary engines turned off.

Rationale:

The Ship Registry is committed to supporting ship owners and operators that invest in green

technology including ship and yacht systems that use shore-side energy (SSE), which has

the potential to eliminate ship engine emissions in port waters, reducing pollutants and

greenhouse gas emissions.

Note:

The existing 10% MARPOL Annex VI EEDI discount and the new 15% alternative fuel and 15% shore side energy discounts from the annual registration fees for cargo ships, commercial yachts and passenger ships are not cumulative. For a ship which meets more than one of these discount criteria, one discount (whichever is the higher), is applied to the annual registration fee.

Proposal 4 - pleasure yachts maintaining Large Commercial Yacht Code

compliance (Schedule 6)

The Ship Registry proposes to include a new provision in Schedule 6 of the fees Regulations

for Pleasure Vessels which maintain large commercial yacht code compliance. A pleasure

yacht which maintains large commercial yacht code compliance shall pay fees in accordance

with the survey and certification fees specified for a commercial yacht in Schedule 3

paragraphs 7 to 35. This does not affect the annual registration fee for a pleasure vessel

which shall continue to be paid at the same rate as a pleasure vessel.

Rationale:

The Ship Registry is currently working on proposals to enable a large yacht which is

predominantly registered as a pleasure vessel to more easily change its registration to a

commercial yacht for the purpose of undertaking commercial charters.

It is expected that a yacht taking advantage of this new scheme will still be registered as a

pleasure yacht for the majority of the time with occasional changes of registration to a

commercial yacht. A pleasure yacht which wishes to change its registration and operate as a

commercial yacht must be built to the same standards as a commercial yacht and be subject

the same survey regime – i.e. be in Large Commercial Yacht Code compliance.

As these types of yachts require the same survey and certification services as a commercial

yacht the fees for survey and certification services are charged at the same rate as for

commercial yachts.

Proposal 5 – fees for remote surveys

The Ship Registry proposes to clarify fees for surveys which are conducted remotely. The

general principal which is being applied is to charge the same fee for a remote survey as for

a “boots on deck” survey.

The existing fees Regulations were not drafted with remote surveys in mind, but in most

instances it is only necessary to remove phrases such as “the fee to attend” from the

Regulations in order to clarify that the specified fee applies to the provision of the service

remotely or in person.

Remote surveys fees have been specified in the fees Regulations (Schedules 2 and 3) for:

Cargo ships – pre-registration surveys, initial general inspections and additional

inspection fees; and

Commercial Yachts – other inspections, verifications and surveys

Rationale:

The Ship Registry has made major progress and invested in the use of remote survey

technology during the last few years. Remote surveys are expected to continue as part of the

7

overall package of services provided by the Ship Registry so we are taking this opportunity to

review and clarify the fees Regulations to reflect the use of remote surveys.

Proposal 6 - interim ISPS, ISM and MLC verifications for commercial yachts

(Schedule 3 new paragraphs 31 -34)

The Ship Registry proposes to introduce a specific fee of £105 per hour for the conduct of a

remote interim ISPS, ISM and MLC verifications of a commercial yacht. The fee for an in

person ISPS, ISM or MLC verification remains at £3,490 (+2% increase for 2022 = £3,560).

Rationale:

Interim ISPS, ISM and MLC verifications of commercial yachts are typically carried out at the

same time as other major inspections and are currently charged as a block fee of £3,490.

There are some circumstances however where an interim ISPS, ISM or MLC verification is

required on its own, for example when a commercial yacht changes manager. These

verifications are now most likely to be conducted remotely and a specific remote ISPS, ISM or

MLC verification fee of £105 per hour has therefore been added to the Regulations.

Proposal 7 - Company audit fees and MLC private seafarer and recruitment

placement services fees (Schedule 7)

(a) The Ship Registry proposes to streamline fees for Company audits conducted

outside of IOM, UK, Channel Islands or Republic of Ireland to £2,990.

Rationale:

Current fees for Company audits are set on a sliding scale depending on where in the world

the Company is based - for example, the fee to conduct a Company audit in Europe is

£2,930 and the fee to conduct the audit of a Company based in Australia is £4,430 (with

Surveyor travel charged at cost). The Ship Registry proposes to consolidate the fees for

audits conducted anywhere other than the IOM, UK, Channel Islands or the Republic of

Ireland into a standard fee of £2,990.

(b) The Ship Registry proposes to introduce remote Company audit fees of –

£750 for a Company based in the IOM; and

£2,050 for a Company based anywhere other than the IOM.

Rationale:

The remote audit fee of £2,050 is introduced based on the fee charged to conduct a

Company audit in the UK and will apply regardless of where in the world the Company is

based (other than IOM).

To encourage and support local companies providing ship management services from the

Island the fee for an audit of a Company based in the Island (remote or in person) will be

charged at the rate of £750.

8

(c) The Ship Registry proposes to align the MLC private seafarer and recruitment

placement services fee to £105 per hour.

Rationale:

The current fee for a MLC recruitment and placement services inspection is £96 per hour

and is increased to £105 to bring it into line with other hourly fees specified in the

Regulations.

Proposal 8 - launch fees and agents fees for cargo ship mandatory general

inspections (Schedule 2 new paragraph 15)

The Ship Registry proposes to clarify that any launch fees or agent’s fees for mandatory

general inspections of cargo ships will be charged at cost.

Rationale:

Cargo ships pay a consolidated annual registration fee for the provision of most technical

services including the conduct of mandatory general inspections. Whilst this fee was

intended to cover the cost of general surveyor travel there is occasionally some confusion

over whether the annual fee also includes the cost of launch fees. Launch fees are incurred

when a ship is not alongside and a launch is required to transport the surveyor from the

port to the ship/ship to the port - for example - a helicopter transfer or a rib launch.

For clarity it is proposed to specify that any launch fees incurred will be charged at cost to

the shipowner. That Agent’s fees will also be charged at cost to the shipowner is also added

for completeness.

Proposal 9 – seafarer’s discharge books (Schedule 9)

The Ship Registry proposes to remove the fee for discharge books.

Rationale:

The Ship Registry stopped issuing seafarer’s discharge books in 2019.
