MORTGAGES

A mortgage may be registered for any sum in any currency on any provisional registration of a ship.  Any mortgage or charge against a ship (but not part of her) must be registered either through the Registrar of Ships directly or with the Registrar’s permission through a Cyprus Consulate abroad.  The mortgage is fully protected as soon as it is registered.  The registration of a mortgage is required for the purpose of making the mortgage a charge against the shipowning company.

Upon an ex-parte application by the mortgagee in the Admiralty Court an order as far as registration for the transferring of ownership or the change of the status of a ship is concerned may be obtained.

The fees payable at the Companies registry for the registration of mortgage are CYP300.00.

No fees are payable for the discharge of a mortgage.
