Under the Merchant Shipping Act a Malta registered ship or yacht has to be owned by:
- A Malta registered company
 - A Foreign body corporate
 - An EU citizen.
 
As a result, in order for any non EU resident to register his yacht or ship under the Maltese flag, he has first to register a company in Malta.
We shall be most happy to assist in the registration process should you wish to go ahead with your plans.
