Malaysia International Ship Registry (MISR) is an organization dedicated to the registration of international ships. Established to encourage both individual and foreign shipping companies to register their vessels in Malaysia, the MISR allows for 100% foreign equity ownership, eliminating the requirement for Malaysian majority shareholders. This initiative aims to position Malaysia prominently on the international maritime map.
Under the ship registration framework, shipping operations encompass the transportation of passengers or cargo by sea, as well as ship chartering Malaysia activities. Such activities include letting or chartering ships on a voyage or time charter basis. The registration of international ships is expected to enhance the capacity of the ship registry, thereby improving Malaysia’s ability to manage its transportation trade effectively.
In addition to facilitating ship registration, the MISR supports various aspects of ship management, allowing businesses to streamline their operations within a favorable regulatory environment. This includes providing opportunities for leasing companies and other financial services related to maritime activities, further contributing to Labuan’s status as a key player in global shipping and investment.
