Registration of ships and setting-up of shipping businesses

Kromann Reumert has for decades been providing advice to Danish and foreign shipowners and banks/financing companies on the registration of ships and rights in the Danish ship registers and on the setting-up of shipping businesses in Denmark.

Registration/re-registration of a ship - whether for purposes of purchase, sale, chartering, financing or other situations - can be a complicated and document-intensive process. Kromann Reumert has substantial experience in these matters, regularly advising Danish and foreign shipowners and banks/financing companies on the registration/re-registration of ships and rights over ships in Denmark. 

We can assist in all steps of the process, including setup of business, contact to relevant authorities, drafting of the required documents, and the very registration. We have a large network of foreign lawyers whose skills we can call upon when required, for example to assist clients in registering/re-registering ships in other countries.
