​

The Importance of Flag Selection
Before setting sail, your yacht must be properly registered. Choosing the right flag not only determines the country of your yacht but also dictates the regulations related to its operation, usage duration in territorial waters, and operating costs. Your flag ensures your yacht sails legally and comfortably on the seas.

Expert Survey Services for Red Ensign Flagged Yachts and Tonnage Measurement
At TMS Yachting, our surveyors certified by YBDSA, RYA, and IIMS provide tonnage measurement surveys for British-flagged yachts up to 24 meters in hull length. The Red Ensign Group flags include prestigious maritime territories such as Jersey, Guernsey, Isle of Man, British Virgin Islands (BVI), and the Cayman Islands.

Yachts that will be registered under the British flag for the first time must undergo tonnage measurement surveys in compliance with MCA (UK Marine Coastguard Agency) regulations. Our IIMS-approved surveyors are authorised to conduct tonnage measurements and manage the official certification process for the UK and Red Ensign Group flag states.

​

Why Is the Tonnage Certificate Important?
The tonnage certificate officially calculates your yacht’s volume in tonnage according to MCA and IMO (International Maritime Organisation) standards. This document is essential and critical for registration, taxation, and port procedures. London is the most popular registration port among the 116 UK registry harbours.

​

Expert Guidance on Flag Selection
While many internationally recognised flags are popular worldwide, choosing the right and most economical flag requires expert advice. Which flags allow Turkish ownership? What is the best flag for yachts purchased in Europe with EU VAT paid? What are the recommendations for yachts bought without VAT?

We are here to answer all these questions and guide you to select the most advantageous flag for your yacht!
