One part of registration for yachts wishing to be Cyprus flagged is an inspection by the DMS Ships Inspector. Ours happened today. The inspector arrived at 9am and looked at the hull and boat in general and decided [in not many seconds] she was strong and seaworthy.
Then he checked checked out the measurements from the Camper and Nicholson manual. Found one was missing for him to calculate the tonnage... which was distance from the bottom of the bilges to the main desk height... so measured that.
Then explained about the signage needed [brass tonnage/registration plate and yacht name placement on the hull] and then left.
Painless. Next step is he sends his report in on Monday. Then they allocate a number, send us that and the tonnage. Then we make the brass plate and fix it to the boat [we will put it next to the Camper and Nicholson build plate]. We also get the signage for the hull... the DMS come and inspect that and we are registered.
