Flag registration and class

When you buy a ship, change its flag or transfer its class, we run the file from the first document to the final certificate. Since 2014, we have handled ship registration under eight flags and classification with PHRS.

How we work

Liva Marine along a ship’s voyage

  1. Pre-purchase survey

    Before you buy, we inspect the hull, machinery and paperwork with an independent eye.

  2. Flag registration

    Registration, change of flag, mortgages and flag certificates under eight flags.

  3. Classification

    We run the classification process with Phoenix Register of Shipping (PHRS).

  4. P&I insurance

    Through our partners we arrange P&I and hull & machinery cover against third-party liabilities.

  5. Technical support at sea

    When damage, a casualty or a survey comes up, our experts are on hand.

  6. Documentation and renewals

    Seafarer certificates, endorsements and annual renewals, tracked on time.
