Note 1: In all cases please ensure that the name of ship or project for which payment is being made and the invoice number(s) being paid are included in the information contained in the wire transfer, as indicated under “Reference” in each of the above cases. This information will help us to clear your account more quickly.

Note 2: Note that the client or person making the payment is responsible for all bank charges, wherever and however arising, which is incurred in the wiring or other transmission of funds to the Maritime Authority of the Cayman Islands. Hence the amount transmitted will need to include such charges so that the net payment which we receive is the same as the invoiced amount. For example, if the invoice total is US$200 and bank charges at the originating end are US$20.00 and the bank charges in Cayman are, say, US$25, then please transfer a total of US$245, comprising the US$200 invoiced amount, US$20 bank charges in the originating country, and US$25 to cover the bank charges in Cayman.

A copy of the wiring instructions must be sent to the Maritime Authority of the Cayman Islands, either by fax (Fax No. + 1 345 949 8849) or by e-mail to accounts@cishipping.com. This will assist in tracking the wire transfer.
