Representative Person

Under section 5 of the Merchant Shipping Law (2005 Revision) a ship owned by a non-resident individual or company may only be registered if a Representative Person is appointed locally for the purpose of receiving notices and other documents pertaining to the non-resident ship-owner. A non-resident company is defined as a company that is not incorporated locally and does not having a place of business in the Cayman Islands. See also Authorised Person.
