Policy

The  Department of Maritime Administration is committed to being a high quality shipping register and maritime administration that will consistently provide a high standard of service, information, and support to its customers in support of their businesses while ensuring that Bermuda ships meet all international requirements.  In achieving this it will continuously review its performance and seek to improve those services and support while growing the register for the benefit of Bermuda.

In achieving this policy the Department takes great care in assessing the standards of ships seeking to join the registry and in ensuring that Bermuda ships continue to meet high standards while in service.   A large part of that care is in the arrangements for survey and inspection.
