Recently, a shipping company in Rizhao applied for documents registration without stopping sailing. This is the first time since Shandong MSA issued the new mechanism for Shandong sea vessels in October 2021, and for the first time, Rizhao MSA handled the transfer of nationality of sea vessels through this mechanism. Rizhao MSA attaches great importance to the application, organizes seminars in advance to study the mechanism, and fully communicates with Qingdao MSA.

The new mechanism of documents registration without stopping sailing is to press ahead with reforms to streamline the government, delegate power, and improve government services, optimize the business environment of ports, and implement the methods of separation of prior inspection and verification, pre-examination and parallel processing when building new ships and registering seagoing vessels, so as to minimize the time for ship inspection and registration.

The documents registration without stopping sailing synchronizes the cancellation and registration business of the new and old ship registration authorities, eliminating the gap period for the registration of sea vessels and saving much time and cost for shipping companies.

Rizhao MSA will continue to press ahead with reforms to streamline the government, delegate power, and improve government services, take the initiative to handling the difficulties in ship registration business, adhere to doing practical things for the masses, deepen the implementation of various measures to benefit the people and enterprises, and serve the high-quality development of the shipping industry.
