Prefectura Naval Argentina updates National Ship Registry rules
Prefectura Naval Argentina has implemented new regulations for the National Ship Registry through Disposition 1053/2026, aimed at simplifying administrative procedures for various vessels, including yachts and watercraft.
Key changes include the removal of the automatic prohibition on navigating due to unpaid annual registration fees. Additionally, owners of new vessels are now required to provide a sworn declaration confirming the vessel is in seaworthy condition and that the operator possesses the necessary documentation.
The new rules also establish specific requirements for outboard motors: registration is mandatory for motors with a power of 85 kW or higher, while registration remains optional for those with lower power. To streamline certain processes under the Simplified Regime, recognized organizations or professionals registered with the Professional Council of Naval Engineering may now be involved.
