The Commonwealth of Dominica International Ship Registry: The Flag of Responsibility
The Commonwealth of Dominica International Ship Registry is proudly known as The Flag of Responsibility. Administered from the campus of Northeast Maritime Institute – College of Maritime Science (NMI), with policy thought-leadership closely linked to The Center for Ocean Policy and Economics (COPE°) in Fairhaven, Massachusetts. Created at NMI, Dominica’s Registry was built on a simple promise: an open, international registry for serious shipowners and yacht owners who value safety, integrity, and performance above all.

Responsibility is more than a tagline; it is our operating standard. We champion rigorous compliance with international conventions, transparent processes, and a culture of continuous improvement. Owners choose Dominica for practical, professional support: diligent vessel vetting, responsive technical oversight, and clear guidance across ISM, ISPS, MLC, and environmental requirements from initial registration through the vessel’s life cycle. Our team of mariners, surveyors, auditors, and educators brings frontline experience and a service mindset that reduces friction and raises standards. We prioritize timely decisions, predictable fees, and modern digital services that respect owners’ time at sea.

As a maritime administration listed on the IMO STCW White List, Dominica pairs regulatory credibility with the talent pipeline and training excellence of NMI. That alignment strengthens safety outcomes on board while advancing mariner welfare and competency. Through COPE°, we also engage industry and governments to promote policies that are commercially realistic, environmentally responsible, and centered on human dignity at sea.

The result is a registry that is accessible yet exacting, collaborative yet uncompromising on ethics. We work hand-in-hand with recognized organizations, port State control authorities, managers, and owners to keep ships moving safely, efficiently, and compliantly.

For owners who believe reputation is earned voyage by voyage, Dominica offers a home flag that reflects their values. Choose the Commonwealth of Dominica – The Flag of Responsibility and sail under a standard that honors the mariner, the marine environment, and the trust of global trade.

The Consulate of the Commonwelath of Dominica in Athens, Greece provides full ship and yahct registration services to owners and all anchilary sevices to Mariners.On the other side the Commonwelath of Dominica invites all international investors to benefit from the long lasting (since 1993) Citizenship by Investment Program. A CBI Program that can shape the future of a family, ranked first in the Financial Times’s CBI Index for six consecutive years.
