Cook Island Flag Documentation

We process following flag state documentation:-

Cook Islands aims to be a flag of choice for quality classed tonnage and superyachts.

The Flag is based in the Cook Islands in Rarotonga and is the only Small Island Developing State with a serious open register that is actually based in their home country. The advantage of this is that Maritime Cook Islands is very close to their government and has an ability to get quick and sensible answers to difficult questions that take other Flags weeks and months.

Maritime Cook Islands is the administrator of the Cook Islands Ship Register. Under an agreement with the Ministry of Transport they have delegated to them responsibility for all Flag State responsibilities under the various IMO conventions and instruments.

Maritime Cook Islands has more than 160 surveyors around the world who can attend on board to assist with issues a client may have. Cook Islands has formal agreements with the IACS Class Societies and five other selected non-IACS societies.

The Cook Islands flag has grown rapidly. They have more than 450 vessels with a total of over 1,250,000 Gross Tons registered.
