Small Commercial Yacht Code (sCYC) 2024
The Malta Merchant Shipping Directorate has now drawn up a specific Commercial Yacht Code for smaller crafts.
This Small Commercial Yacht Code (sCYC) 2024 is now applicable to all Maltese registered commercial yachts between 12m and <24m length.
The maximum number of passengers that can be carried remains at 12.
Both Recognised Organisations (RO) and Malta Appointed Government Surveyors are authorised to perform the required surveys leading to the issuance of the Small Commercial Yacht Certificate.
For Malta Registered Yachts there is no limit on the number of changes and the change duration between Pleasure/Private.
Commercial Yachts, which are already issued with Red Ensign Group (REG), French or Italian Commercial Yacht Certification, will be issued with a three-month (3) provisional Small Commercial Yacht Certificate (having an equivalent navigation range and other restrictions similar to the existing certification), pending the completion of the Initial Surveys as prescribed in the Code.
If you are interested in registering your yacht under the Malta Flag or need further support please do not hesitate to get in touch with us.
