The Bahamas Maritime Authority is a government administration body based in the United Kingdom that manages the Bahamas ship registry, including vessel registration and the enforcement of safety requirements. It continually monitors maritime standards and works to raise them, while also representing The Bahamas at international bodies such as the International Maritime Organization, the European Commission, and the U.S. Coast Guard. The authority maintains a policy that ships must meet international standards to be eligible for registration, emphasizing quality and ongoing improvement for Bahamian-registered vessels, their owners, and crews. In June 2026, the Authority announced the launch of a blockchain-secured Digital Seafarer Record Book designed to replace traditional paper-based seafarer records. Through these efforts, the organization serves Bahamian-registered ships, their owners and crews, and other stakeholders in the international shipping community by upholding the registry and compliance with safety and regulatory norms.
