International Registries, Inc. and its affiliates (IRI) provide administrative and technical support to the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) Maritime and Corporate Registries. IRI has been administering maritime and corporate programs and involved in flag State administration since 1948. The RMI Registry is fully committed to the safety and security of personnel ashore and afloat, the RegistryÍs vessels, and the marine environment. The RMI Maritime Registry is the third largest in the world, surpassing 3,750 vessels and 130 million gross tons in February 2016. Vessel types include, but are not limited to: tank ships; liquid natural gas (LNG)/gas carriers; bulk carriers; container ships; offshore drilling, production, and service units; passenger vessels; and yachts. IRI believes the success of the RMI Registry is due to its qualified personnel with experience at sea and ashore who focus on quality, service, and continual improvement. IRI has a network of 27 worldwide offices that have the ability to register a vessel or yacht, including those under construction, record a mortgage or financing charter, incorporate a company, issue seafarer documentation, and service clientele. The most important asset to the RMI Registry is its customers and IRI strives to provide them with full service from any office, 24-hours a day.
