YACHT
The RMI Registry maintains a dedicated technical team and from within that team, there are yacht technical experts who provide support to yachts and their associated entities regarding the application of mandatory international and national maritime rules and regulations as well as the application of the RMI Yacht Code 2021 (MI-103).
Yacht technical support ranges from assistance and advice to regulatory overview during new construction and refit projects as well as 24/7 support for registered yachts in operation. In addition, the yacht technical team provides oversight of Classification Societies and other Recognized Organizations, and provides a supporting role to the RMI’s delegation at the IMO.
