Ausflaggen: Schiffsregistrierung- Yachtregistrierung Offshore (Panama,Vanuatu,BVI)

 Wir registrieren Ihr Schiff/Ihre Yacht in einem Offshore-Staat, z.B. BVI,Panama,Vanuatu. I.d.R. wird zu diesem Zweck eine Offshore-Gesellschaft gegründet (exempted Companie, Betriebsstätte im Sitzstaat der Gesellschaft), das Schiff wird Anlagevermögen der Gesellschaft. Die Gründung der Gesellschaft erfolgt dabei mit Nominee-Direktor und i.d.R. mit Inhaberaktien. Nachfolgend tritt der Nominee-Direktor zurück und der eigentliche Nutznießer wird als Direktor der Gesellschaft ausgewiesen. Da die von uns empfohlenen Staaten über kein öffentliches Handelsregister, kein Rechtshilfe- oder fiskalisches Auslieferungsabkommen mit Deutschland bzw. der EU verfügen, bleibt der eigentliche "Eigner/Nutznießer" anonym. Die Gebühren richten sich nach dem Aufwand (anwaltliche Gebühr LCT und Anwalt im Sitzstaat), den Gründungs-und Verwaltungsgebühren der Offshore-Gesellschaft und den staatlichen Registergebühren.

Bei größeren Organisationen (mehrere Schiffe) kann auch ein Anwalt im Sitzstaat der Gesellschaft als "dauerhafter" Treuhand-Direktor oder angestellter Direktor der inländischen Gesellschaft bereitgestellt werden. Alternativ kann der Mandant einen Direktor stellen, also einen im Sitzstaat Ansässigen im Sinne (Mandant oder ein Beauftragter verlagert seinen gewöhnlichen Aufenthalt in den Sitzstaat der Gesellschaft).

Panama Boat / Ship / Yacht / Vessel Registration
   

Panama Has the Largest Shipping Registry in the World 

The Republic of Panama has the largest and most popular shipping registry in the world today. Over the years, international shipping companies have flocked to Panama to take advantage of the low registration taxes and fees applied by the Panama government as compared to other countries.

Panama Ship Registration

All vessels are subject to a one-time enrollment fee that is based upon a variable scale, plus a government fee, at the time of registration. Registration of the bill of sale is $0.20 per net ton registered or fraction thereof plus a 20% surtax. The annual tax that is due is $0.10 per net ton plus other charges.  All international shipping income is exempt from Panama taxes.

Panama Yacht Registration

Registration certificates for yachts in Panama are issued for 2 year periods and must be renewed every 2 years for as long as the yacht is registered in Panama.

Yacht Registration Tariffs:
  • $1,500 if Yacht is owned by a foreigner
  • $1,000 if Yacht is owned by a Panamanian or Panama Corporation
This registration tariff is due during the initial yacht registration and also upon each 2 year registration renewal.

Documents Required For Registration

  • Purchase & Sale Agreement, Bill of Sale or a Builder's Certificate if the boat is new
  • Power of Attorney (to our law firm)
  • Deletion Certificate from the previous registry or Builder's Certificate if the boat is new

Vessel Registration Process

Panama's Maritime office will issue a "temporary" Provisional Navigation License which is valid for a 6 month period and can be renewed. Within this 6 month period the applicant needs to apply for a "permanent" or Definitive Navigation License which is valid for a 2 year period.

All boats registered in Panama must also meet the Radio Operator licensing requirements. First, a "temporary" Provisional Radio Operator License will be issued which is valid for a 3 month period. A "permanent" Definitive Radio Operator License must be obtained within this first 3 month period or fines are imposed until the Definitive Radio Operator License is acquired.

If the yacht is over 20 years of age it will also be required to undergo a safety survey and other safety requirements.

Anonymous Yacht Ownership Using Panama Bearer Share Corporations

In order to have anonymous ownership for your Yacht or vessel in Panama you will need to first incorporate a Panama corporation in bearer share form. Use our law firm and nominee directors to set up the bearer share corporation and file all of the proper paperwork on your behalf ensuring your name stays out of any public registration databases. This allows you to maintain total control over the Panama corporation and boat ownership anonymously. Additional layers of privacy protection can be achieved by having a Panama Foundation own your Panama Corporation. Call us for more details.

Since your corporation is in bearer share form you can easily transfer the boat ownership by simply selling the corporation and share certificates to another party.  No record of the transaction needs to be recorded nor any taxes paid in Panama upon completion of the sale.
