What clients say.

Horacio L
I used the Vanuatu Logistics when I wanted to register my cruise ship fleet in Vanuatu. I wanted people that were familiar with the country. With VMR I got that. They know the land inside and out, as well as all procedures for making it happen.

Now Vanuatu is my home port of choice for my fleet. I am welcomed anywhere on Earth because they are registered in Vanuatu. The professional officers at VMR knew exactly what to do and made everything seem effortless. My cruise ship fleet is prospering in Vanuatu and I have VMR to thank.
Ahmad M
I wanted to register my yacht in Vanuatu. In the past this was nearly impossible. The Vanuatu Logistics changed that. The process was easy and I performed all necessary steps online. All procedures were described perfectly and I was able to complete them without any troubles.

With the Vanuatu Logistics, the fees I had to pay were fully explained and were reasonable. I was also able to arrange to pay them online. My yacht now proudly flies the flag of Vanuatu. Thank you to the Registry.
Marshall Charter Boats
I am Edward Marshall of Marshall Charter Boats. We wanted to expand our charter boat business to Vanuatu. We heard much about how beautiful it was there and how accepting the people were of newcomers. We were also excited about running our business out of Port Vila, the capital of Vanuatu. We found the Vanuatu Logistics and they helped us register all of our charter boats.


Not only did the Vanuatu Logistics simplify the process for us, but they turned us onto all the other benefits of Vanuatu for charter boat companies. Our business here is now very profitable. We have the Registry to thank for it. We look forward to growing our fleet and continuing to work with this incredible company.
Mary H
When our company wanted to register our pleasure yacht business in Vanuatu, we initially had some troubles. We had to contact our representative, the Vanuatu Logistics, in the middle of the night to get them resolved in time for morning. This was no problem at all for them. They had people available to help us. The associates were friendly and efficient, even at that hour. They helped straighten everything out and our Vanuatu business branch used our yachts on schedule the next day. We learned our lesson, that we should have used the Vanuatu Logistics to begin with. We certainly will from now on.
Umberto G
I needed help with my Certificate of Registry in Vanuatu. The persons at the Vanuatu Logistics provided all I needed. That process is now complete and I am free to go about my yacht sailing in my new home of Vanuatu. I will tell everyone I know with a sea vessel to use this company. All procedures get finished online and very fast. When I must have advice, the Vanuatu Logistics gives it to me. I will not use any other company.
Manuel N
I have a successful business with my fleet of yachts in Mexico. I was looking to expand and the country of Vanuatu provided that opportunity for me. In order to do that, I had to register my yacht fleet in Vanuatu. I thought this was going to be difficult.

Somebody recommended the Vanuatu Logistics to me as the place to go to register my fleet of yachts. I contacted them and they made the process possible and easy. A professional officer of the Registry guided me through the process. My fleet is now fully registered and my business in Vanuatu is thriving. All thanks to the Vanuatu Logistics.
Samar A
My father's company owns different types of sea vessels. They have charters, ships used for foreign trade, yachts for entertaining VIPs. They were worried about registering them in Vanuatu because they didn't know if all the types would be accepted. The Vanuatu Logistics made everything possible. They accepted all of my father's vessels and got them registered in Vanuatu. Now our whole family, plus all of our business associates spend a lot of time in Vanuatu. We highly recommend the Vanuatu Logistics.
Torry L
I thought registering my large ship in Vanuatu was going to be expensive. I found the Vanuatu Logistics online and contacted them. Much to my surprise, the costs were very reasonable. Plus, I was able to arrange to pay for everything on their website. This was easy. I am now happy being able to represent Vanuatu all over the world with my ship. I am quite grateful to the Vanuatu Logistics.

I would also like to add that the officers at the Registry who helped me with my fees were very professional and courteous. They acted like I was more than just a name on an application, that I was actually like part of a family. If I buy more ships, I will definitely use them again.
Malcolm S
My partners and I own a couple of freight-oriented ships and have a business with them. We wanted to register them in Vanuatu so we could also do business there. We thought it would take forever to get this accomplished, but the Vanuatu Logistics got it done very fast.

The process to apply was also extremely fast and all done online through the Registry website. We were amazed at how soon we were able to launch the Vanuatu chapter for our freight-shipping business. If we buy more ships, we will definitely go through the Vanuatu Logistics again.
James P
I have a pleasure yacht in Spain. I was looking for someplace exotic to make my second home port. I discovered Vanuatu and all its wonders. I also wanted to be able to travel all over the world on my yacht. My connection at the Vanuatu Logistics informed me that many destinations throughout the world recognize any vessel that flies the flag of Vanuatu. My dreams were about to come true. The Registry helped me through the registration process and everything went smoothly. Next week, I am sailing off to visit new destinations.
