Vessel Flagging Services

Changing a vessel’s flag requires specialist knowledge of legal frameworks, documentation and coordination with various authorities. Naval Consultant Herman Jansen has years of experience in managing the complete flagging and re-flagging process for (fishing) vessels across several EU and EEA member states.

Our services include:

• Consultation and alignment with client objectives

• Translating requirements into the regulations of the target country

• Liaison with classification societies and government bodies

• Preparation and handling of all required documentation

• Drafting of necessary drawings and technical specifications

• Performing required calculations (e.g. tonnage, stability)

We have worked with flag states such as:

• The Netherlands

• Belgium

• Germany

• Denmark

• Norway

• United Kingdom

• France

• Cyprus

Thanks to our expertise in both technical and regulatory aspects, we ensure a smooth and efficient flagging process — with minimal disruption to vessel operations.
