The Cayman Islands Shipping Registry (CISR) has announced that it will host an informational luncheon/seminar explaining the advantages to shipowners of registration of vessels in the Cayman Islands on Friday, March 7th, at the Boscolo Park Hotel in Nice, France.

The seminar, which will feature round-table discussions by maritime experts, will highlight the Registry’s services to shipowners through CISR’s global office network.

It is being held in conjunction with the Registry’s launch of a new European office on the French Riviera in the port city of Cannes, which became fully operational at the weekend.

The Shipping Registry’s new French office will be headed up by Richie Blake, Lead Surveyor (Europe), who is being seconded from the CISR’s UK office in Southhampton, England.

The new Cote d’Azur address will provide a convenient location for owners of luxury mega-yachts and their representatives, as well as commercial shipping interests in the south of France, to address matters of registration, crew compliance regulations, legal documentation and other needs of the maritime industry.

"Opening a Cayman Islands Shipping Registry office on the French Riviera is a significant step for us and for our valued clients in Europe," announced the Maritime Authority’s CEO, Joel Walton, pointing out that the Registry has many clients in the area, which is conveniently located near Monaco.

"It rounds out our range of global locations," he added, explaining that the Shipping Registry has a physical presence in Grand Cayman (Headquarters), Ft. Lauderdale, Fla., and Southampton, UK, as well as representatives in London, Greece and Tokyo.
