Ownership, registration, encumbrances and the vessel’s technical and contractual records are important areas.

The exact checklist depends on the vessel, flag, transaction structure and financing. Registry searches and verification of title and liens should be considered.

For a significant vessel transaction, use maritime counsel and technical advisers rather than relying on a generic checklist alone.
