Shipping registers
Shipping registers in Germany
In Germany, there are different shipping registers at the district courts (Amtsgericht). The respective responsibility depends on the home port of the ship. Here you can find an overview of all local shipping registers.
Tasks
The various German shipping registers are state authorities responsible for the entry of seagoing ships in the register of the home port.
Unlike the entry into the shipping register (first register), to register a ship in the central German International shipping register (GIS = second register) is not mandatory.
