Shipping registers of sea-going ships

The shipping registers of sea-going ships are located in the district courts

German shipping registers of sea-going ships are state authorities responsible for entering sea-going ships into the register of the home port. Rather than one central shipping register, there are several registers mostly along the coast and their responsibility is connected to the home port of the individual ship.

Shipping registers of sea-going ships are public and provide information about property and legal conditions relating to the registered ships.

The largest shipping registers of sea-going ships in Germany are:

• the shipping register in Hamburg and
• the shipping register in Bremen.
