On 08 October 2007, the Marshall Islands Postal Service issued a series of new stamps featuring yachts registered in the Marshal Islands. The ten stamps in this issue present colourful and vibrant photographic images of the most magnificent yachts to sail under the flag of the Republic of the Marshall Islands.
The Marshall Island Maritime Registry is highly regarded throughout the world, not only by the yachting community, but by the entire maritime industry due to its very efficient registration processes and quality service. Popular features offered to yacht owners included the ability to register a yacht for either one-year or three-year period, completion of the registration within 24-hours and the eligibility to obtain a U.S. Cruising Permit.
Private and commercial yachts now comprise 15% of the total number of vessels that are currently part of the Marshall Islands fleet which is ranked as the fourth largest and fastest growing open registry in the world. In addition to yachts, the types of vessels that may registered under the Marshall inlands flag included tankers, cargo ships, container ships, passenger ships and tugs, among others.
