In 2025, the Singapore Ship Registry received an unusually high volume of applications from companies operating on the trans-Pacific and Asian routes. Several operators publicly confirmed that they are transferring part of their fleet to reduce costs and mitigate regulatory risks following the introduction of US port tariffs on a number of foreign flags.
🔘 Why choose Singapore
- Reputation for a reliable and high-quality registry;
- Transparent regulation;
- Flexible registration conditions;
- Absence of additional port charges, as the US has imposed on some countries.
🔘 What does this mean for the market?
Fleet re-registration is not only an attempt to reduce costs, but also a sign of growing pressure on global shipping chains due to tariffs, sanctions, and political decisions.
Singapore is strengthening its position as one of the most attractive flags for international carriers.
