United Kingdom
The UK Ship Register (UKSR) is one of the best performing flags
in the major Port State Control regimes, and has a reputation for
maintaining the highest international standards.
We feel that the quality standards set by reputable sections of
the shipping industry should not be compromised by sub-standard
shipping and we believe that quality is non-negotiable.
Working with our customers our main objective is to ensure that
we achieve Safety through Partnership. The UKSR is dedicated
to Safer Lives, Safer Ships and Cleaner Seas.
