Another Caribbean island is looking to get in to ship registration. St Lucia is close to creating an open ship registry.

The Shipping Amendment Bill is being piloted by Minister for Legal Affairs, Home Affairs and National Security Victor Philip La Corbiniere.

St Lucia would join the Bahamas, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, St Kitts-Nevis, St Vincent, Grenada and the Grenadines in having an open ship registry in the Caribbean.
