Maritime Services - Ship Management

Shipowners looking for a suitable base for their operations would be hard pushed to find anywhere as capable and convenient as Gibraltar.

As many shipowners have already discovered, Gibraltar can offer an expertise and flexibility in ship management services that is matched by very few other ports.

Furthermore, Gibraltar is already used by more than 10,000 vessels each year for bunkering, provisioning, shiprepair, crew changes and other services – so it makes sense for shipowners to base their ship management operations there.

Other good reasons for using Gibraltar:

• English-speaking offshore financial centre
• Favourable fiscal climate including VAT-free status
• Pleasant living environment with a range of good accommodation
• Skilled and bilingual workforce
• Excellent communications
• Large shipping service and support industry
• Excellent professional infrastructure with wide expertise in maritime, legal and financial matters
• Airport only minutes from the harbour with daily flights to the UK
• Ship Registry with Category 1 Red Ensign Status.
