This notice is directed primarily at:

Service providers providing registration services to Cayman Islands ships;

1. Background:

Concurrent with the development of "A Guide to Vessel Registration" the various Forms involved in the application for the registration of a ship in the Cayman Islands and subsequent processes have been revised and updated. The revised Forms are designed to streamline the Registration process and reduce the number of individual Forms required by using "multi-function' formats where this is appropriate.

2. Summary of the new Forms:

To introduce the new Forms and to assist users in becoming familiar with them, they are summarised in the printable version of this notice.

3. Commencement Date:

All applications for Registration and other related services covered by the new Forms are required to be made on the revised Forms with effect from 01 October 2006. Prior to this date, applications will continue to be accepted utilising either the existing Forms of the revised Forms.
