When a shipowner of a Tuvalu vessel sells the vessel to another party, the new owner may choose to continue the vessel's registration under the Tuvalu flag provided that the vessel's statutory certification continues to be under one of the authorised classification societies.
Incentives in the form of attractive fees and taxes may be given to encourage the new shipowner to maintain the vessel with Tuvalu. Kindly contact us for more information.
