THE LODJAIN MERCHANT FLEET REGISTERAs with international law all merchant ships must be registered with a nation. As such the Queendom of Lodja is offering nations an oppurtunity to register with our fleet registry therefore allowing them to fly the Lodjain flag.
The advantages of registering with Lodja are as follows.
1) Low tax rates charged on Merchant vessels transactions within Lodja, (currently 2%) and no tax charged on transactions carried out overseas.
2) You're vessels will abide by Lodjain employment law meaning no minimum wage requirements.
3) Annual registration fee of only $1000 per vessel, while slightly more expensive than other nations registration fees the tax rules more than pay for it.
4) Recognition of ownership with every major insurance company.
5) No restriction on the age of the vessel, however ships older than 20 years will need an international maritime safety certificate.
6) The Lodja ship registry allows dual registration meaning ships can take advantage of our conditions or there home ports at their conveniance.
7) Vessels under construction may be pre-registered allowing them to be transported more easily once completed.
