Anguilla is the most northerly of the Leeward Islands in the Eastern Caribbean. Colonised by British and Irish settlers in 1650, Anguilla was administered as a single federation with St. Kitts and Nevis from 1958 to 1962 but sought separation in the 1960’s, came under direct UK administration in the 1970s, and eventually became a separate British Dependent Territory in 1980.

Anguilla is a member of the British Red Ensign Group and operates as a Category Two Red Ensign (British) Registry, which can register ships of up to 150 gross tons (GRT) and pleasure vessels, that is, those not operated commercially, of up to 400 GRT. Pleasure vessels, by definition, refer to ships used for sport or pleasure, which are not operated commercially.
