It is observed that on the Malaysian island of Langkawi, boat owners are tired of the long, costly and complex local registration processes and therefore prefer Langkawi for ship flag registration. No matter which country you reside or have citizenship in, applying for boat registration in Langkawi can take just a few days and does not require additional costs or lengthy processes.
Langkawi allows the registration of your boat as an individual or company. In particular, simple company structures such as UK LTD or Delaware LLC can be used without the obligation to establish a Malaysian company.
The boat registry that Langkawi offers is also a big attraction for commercial yacht owners. This registry serves a wide range of customers, from individuals to partners, companies and yachting organizations and therefore offers an ideal option for commercial activities. The boat registration process in Langkawi is quite simple and does not usually require a detailed survey report. Once the required documents and images are provided, the registration process can be started and can usually be completed in approximately 5 days.
The boat registration process in Langkawi is quite similar to the registration process in the UK, as many aspects of Malaysian maritime laws are inspired by the UK.
