  • Largest ships in the world?

    Open this to discover - Basco Boating News - Written by Aziza Ahmed < Back Share Largest ships in the world? Aziza Ahmed May 7, 2022 Open this to discover Ships have been around for thousands of years, but in the 1800s they started getting REALLY big. Do you know what they're called? Big, really big SHIPS are called... . . . . . . . Cruise ship? You guessed it right! Cruise ships are considered the largest type of ship in the world. These ships had lots of space for passengers and cargo, making them ideal for travel to distant parts of the world. Cruise ships have been around for more than 200 years. The first cruise ship was launched in 1819 and has come a long way since then. Ships went from one or two masted vessels to three-masted schooners, which became luxury cruise ships. A cruise ship is a self-contained city. You'll have your favourite amenities at hand —bars, restaurants, shops, pools and play areas. This type of ship is like a huge floating resort. It's got everything you need right on board so you can chill out as much as you want. Cruise ships are usually owned by companies that offer trips to people who want to travel together and visit different places around the world. Cruise ships are one of the fastest-growing modes of transportation in the world. In fact, they're growing so rapidly that it's hard to keep up with how fast they're expanding. Cruise ship capacity is expected to increase by one-third between 2020 and 2025. So, why are cruise ships growing at such an incredible rate? Cruises are growing because they combine relaxation, entertainment, and travel— everything anyone could want on a vacation. As long as people keep loving these experiences, cruises will continue to grow in popularity! There are two types of cruising, one is open-loop and the other is closed-loop. Cruises that start and end in different oceans, seas, or ports are known as open-loop cruises, and closed-loop cruises begin and end at the same port. I hope you found this information helpful. Bests, Dione P.S. If you love the idea of cruising but want to be your own captain instead of being at the mercy of the schedules and itineraries of a crewed charter, then you should consider purchasing your own boat. And if you don’t know where to start, I’ve something for YOU so you can pick the boat that will transform your life overnight, in 3 days. Click here and discover it Media Gallery ← Previous Next →

  • Top Mistakes First-Time Boaters Make at Marinas (And How to Avoid Them)

    Here’s a breakdown of common mistakes first-timers make and how to avoid them. - Basco Boating News - Written by Aziza | BASCO Team < Back Share Top Mistakes First-Time Boaters Make at Marinas (And How to Avoid Them) Aziza | BASCO Team Dec 30, 2024 Here’s a breakdown of common mistakes first-timers make and how to avoid them. Boating is an exhilarating adventure, but for first-time boaters, it can also come with a steep learning curve. Whether you're taking your first trip out to sea or simply docking your boat at a marina, there are many potential "oops" moments. Here’s a breakdown of common mistakes first-timers make and how to avoid them. 1. Fuel Up Before Leaving the Marina Running out of fuel while out on the water is not just inconvenient. It’s downright embarrassing. Just imagine, you’re enjoying your day, the sun’s shining, and suddenly, your boat sputters to a stop. Now you’re stuck, waving for help, or making that awkward call to the marina. And the worst part? It could’ve been easily avoided. Before you even think about untying the lines, make it a habit to check your fuel tank. It’s a quick step that can save you a lot of trouble and keep your day on the water stress-free. 2. Neglecting Basic Boat Maintenance One common mistake first-time buyers make is treating their boat like a "buy it and forget it" purchase. Boats aren’t like cars parked in the driveway .Boats need consistent care to perform their best. Yet, some boat buyers overlook this, thinking their boat will always be ready to go without putting in the effort to maintain it. If a boat that isn’t properly cared for can lead to frustrating breakdowns, costly repairs, and even safety issues. Regular maintenance is crucial especially when you're just starting out. Check the engine, clean the bilge pump, and ensure all parts are functioning properly. By taking the time to do this, you’re not just protecting your investment but also guaranteeing smooth, stress-free days out on the water. 3. Speeding in the Marina When you're in the marina, it's important to keep your speed in check. Moving too quickly can make it harder to stop or adjust your course, increasing the risk of accidents that could damage your boat or others nearby. A slower pace gives you better control over your movements and ensures other boaters have enough time to react as well. It’s not just about your own safety but showing respect for the shared space and everyone in it at Marina. 4. Not Having an Exit Strategy When you're docking or leaving the marina, having an exit strategy is important. It’s not just about knowing where you want to go, but also planning how to handle unexpected situations. Whether you're navigating tight spaces or dealing with windy conditions, knowing your options gives you more control and confidence. If something goes wrong, having a plan allows you to smoothly correct the mistake without drawing unnecessary attention. 5. Poor Docking Etiquette Docking can be one of the most challenging parts of boating, especially for first time boat buyers. Mistakes like going too fast, cutting into someone else's space, or misjudging distances are common and can create unnecessary stress. To avoid this, take your time and approach slowly. Communicate clearly with your crew to ensure everyone is on the same page. If you're unsure or feel a bit nervous, don’t hesitate to ask for help from dockhands or fellow boaters. Taking it slow and being mindful of your surroundings helps you dock with confidence and respect for others. 6. Ignoring Marina Rules Every Marina has its own set of rules, which might include speed limits, quiet hours, or waste disposal guidelines. It's important to familiarize yourself with these rules before your first visit. Understanding and following them not only helps you avoid potential fines or issues, but it also shows respect for the marina and fellow boaters. 7. Overlooking Courtesy Marinas are shared spaces, and how you treat others matters. Greet your fellow boaters, help out if someone is struggling with their docking lines, and always clean up after yourself. A little kindness goes a long way in building a positive boating community. Boating is all about enjoying the experience on the water, and it starts with making sure you're prepared. Whether you're a first-timer or a seasoned boater, these simple habits will help you avoid stress and make your time on the water safer and more enjoyable. So, take a deep breath, plan ahead, and get ready to make the most of every boating adventure. Media Gallery ← Previous Next →

  • Explaining Boat Registration: Interview with Hilda Loe

    The director of Hilda Loe Associates Pte Ltd shares valuable insights on registering a boat. Read the interview now - Basco Boating News - Written by Aziza | BASCO Team < Back Share Explaining Boat Registration: Interview with Hilda Loe Aziza | BASCO Team Mar 17, 2024 The director of Hilda Loe Associates Pte Ltd shares valuable insights on registering a boat. Read the interview now If you are a boat owner or planning to buy one, it is important to understand the process of registering your boat. Registering your boat is not only a legal requirement in many countries, but it also helps ensure the safety of you and others on the water. In this interview, we will explore how and where to register your boat with Hilda Loe. She is the Managing Director of Hilda Loe and Associates and she is also the Deputy Registrar Maritime for the Cook Islands. Dione: Boat registration seems to me to be super complicated. Is it complicated or is it not complicated? Hilda: It is not complicated if you do everything from the professionals. Professionals will help you with all the paperwork that you need and we’ll guide you through it. It looks daunting because there’s quite a bit of information that needs to be completed but it’s really not that difficult. Dione: Is it complicated trying to figure out where to register? First-timers ask us “Where should we register our boat?” Is that decision-making complicated? Hilda: I think the decision relies on where the owner is located. If you are located in this part of the world, you probably want to get someone that is in this part of the world in the same time zone as you so that you’re able to get assistance because there are tons of issues and additional certificate of entry into another port or maybe you may encounter some questions in order to go to another port that you may need additional assistance. If you’re in the same time zone then you’ll be able to do it quite easily. Another thing is the nationality of the client will play a part because some registry will require the flagging of the boat to be the same as the nationality of the owner. For example, if you register a UK flag then the criteria will be either you are British citizens or you have a UK company and all that. But not everyone is like that. In the case of Cook Islands, we don’t require that. Dione: What are the steps through a typical registration process? How do I do it? Hilda: After you have decided whether you’re okay with this time zone and the office is here and your nationality is not really an issue and all that, it comes down to the people who will process your needs. You would definitely need to have some people to prove the ownership of the boat—that you own the boat—and then you have to fill up some application forms to the flag to ensure that you’re registered as the owner. The flag will need to have information about the boat--the length, the tonnage, engine information, safety equipment on board. For this kind of thing, you should already have that information, I mean, when you buy the boat assume that it comes with the inventory list and they will give you some time to inspect and all that. You need to have that information handy. If the boat is registered under a company, then you also need to prepare a set of company documents. For example, if you intend to register the boat under a Singapore company, then you need the Singapore business file, the directors’ information, shareholders’ information. All these are required if you register under a corporation. Dione: How much does it typically cost? Hilda: For us, we have a one year registration, a three year registration, and a five year registration package, so it depends on how long you’re planning to register for. We have under 16 metres and under 24 metres, so the price is slightly different. I’m sure other flags are the same. Dione: What duration for registration do you think is the most suitable? Hilda: My recommendation is if you do not want to go through the paperwork every year, it’s best to do the three or five years. Some people find that five years is a bit too long because they may not keep the boat for five years and sell it. But, even if you sell the boat, let’s say you register it for five years and you sell it at year 3.5 so you still have 1.5 years of registration with us, right? Not to worry. You can actually sell the balance of 1.5 years and you can package it when you sell the boat and all you need to do is a transfer of ownership and the new owner will be able to continue with that 1.5 years. It’s actually pretty cost-effective and it can actually be a good selling point. And the change of ownership is just a piece of paper to be signed on between the buyer and the seller. Of course, we need to have the bill of sale to prove that the boat is now transferred to this new person. If the buyer is an individual, we'd need their passport, address, and the necessary forms. If it's a corporation, similar process, but we'll need company documents and perhaps a board resolution to authorise who can sign the required forms. Dione: Coming back to the cost, can you give us a general range of how much it costs? Hilda: The general range for 1 year, it will be in the range of about under $2,000 USD and that is for under 24-footer boats, and then under $5,000 USD if you’re doing it for five years. Dione: Typically, it’s a year-long registration and then you can decide whether you do it for longer periods at a time. Is that sort of the norm? Hilda: In our experience, most clients just do it for three years because they find that with a one-year registration, around the tenth month, they end up redoing all the paperwork again, which can be quite a hassle. Dione: What’s the minimum amount of time that you can register a boat for? Hilda: The minimum duration is one year. Now, during the registration process, there are two stages. The initial stage is provisional, which requires minimal documentation from the client. Two forms need to be completed along with the client's passport and address to establish their identity as a natural person. This initial phase can be completed within two to three working days. The provisional registration is valid for 90 days. During this period, the client has the opportunity to review safety equipment requirements and complete any outstanding details on the forms. The balance on the form typically tells us what the safety equipment on board, the radio equipment and things like that. And all these things you do not need to have a surveyor to do it. If the client is competent enough to understand all those equipment items and just check through and then confirm the serial number, the model, or they can do it, and then the owner can sign off the form. So there’s no need for a surveyor. We only need a surveyor to come on board when the boat is above 24 metres or when we are talking about doing commercial registration. Commercial registration is completely a different thing altogether because we’re talking about the safety of paying passengers and all that different kinds of insurance involved. We are a lot more particular when it comes to commercials. Dione: Okay. Which includes charter boats, doesn’t it? Hilda: Yes. Correct. Dione: So you touched before on the residency. Does my citizenship or residency make a difference to where I can register my boat? Hilda: Just talking in general, most flag states will require you to be a resident of that country in order to be able to register the boat. In the case of Cook Islands, for our flag, we are flexible on that. You can register the boat even though you are not from Cook Islands. You don’t have to form a Cook Islands company either just to register the boat with Cook Islands because we have something called the CIYS membership. It’s a fee that you pay. It’s a small fee and we actually add it into the package that we market to the client. So when you pay the registration fee, we already include the CIYS inside. So if you are a Singaporean and you want to register in the Cook Islands, you don’t have to do anything more. Just pay the fee and then we will register it in your name but you will have a CIYS membership with you. That allows you to fly the Cook Islands flag when you register the boat. It’s the same thing for a company. They can use the company that they have currently to own the boat. Same thing, CIYS, we’ll do the qualification for the client. There is no need to incur an additional expense in that sense, so that will actually be cheaper for the client to register. Dione: Talking more about the company thing, what are some of the reasons that people will put their boat in a company? What are the benefits of that? Hilda: Definitely, a lot of benefits on that. One of the primary advantages revolves around liabilities. Even though the boat is intended for recreational use, accidents can happen. If an incident occurs and there's a claim involved, the liability falls on the company rather than on the individual owner. If you register it in a personal name, then you are personally liable for whatever claims that are coming your way, whether you’re right or you’re wrong, the Court will decide, but you will have the liability. But, if it is under a company, then the company bears the liability. You are protected in that sense. We always encourage a client to use a company to register the boat to give them a layer of security in that sense. They limit the liability at the company level. Dione: Using the Singapore company as an example, does the residency of the directors make a difference as well? Hilda: No, it doesn’t. The ownership will be if it’s a company, then it will be the company that is the owner. So who are the directors below? We need to know, of course. We need to have their passport and all that. We need to know who they are but we do not tie their nationality to the ownership of the boat. It’s truly a different layer. Dione: Using the Cook Islands registration as an example, and for the citizenship requirements there, what are they for Cook Islands? Hilda: Like I mentioned earlier, for Cook Islands, when you register the boat, if you want to use your personal name and I’m Singaporean, I register and use my name, I’m fine because I have a CIYS in there. Corporation, it’s the same. So it doesn’t matter what nationality I am as a person or as a company, we can always register for it. Dione: That’s very convenient. That’s such a good selling point for the Cook Islands. How about GST? How does GST and tax work on both purchases? When must I pay GST? Hilda: GST is when you import the boat into Singapore. When you import the boat into Singapore you have to pay GST. When you register the boat in Singapore, you have to pay GST. If you register the boat under the Singapore company, the Singapore company may or may not be GST registered. It doesn’t matter because when you import the boat you have to pay GST. Some people register a Singapore company and then they register GST as well. So what a lot of people are doing is that they register the boat with a foreign flag. They use the boat here but they are not here fully so it’s “foreign registered” so there’s no need to pay the GST in that case because it’s foreign flagged and it’s foreign owned. They may use a foreign company to own it, except a Singapore company. Just remember: Whenever you import the boat under a Singapore entity, a Singapore person, and you register it with a Singapore flag, you definitely have to pay GST. Some people will overcome it by foreign flag and then you don’t have an issue, but the foreign flag thing will mean that your boat is not a Singapore boat so you need to go out and come back in. Dione: What are three key tips you'd offer to people considering this? Hilda: Firstly, consider privacy and tax exposure. Some flags, like ours, belong to offshore jurisdictions with zero tax, which may be advantageous. Secondly, be mindful of tax exposure, especially if you're involved in chartering. Charter income can lead to income tax obligations. Thirdly, prioritise privacy and liability exposure. Some clients would not like their information to be out in the open to know who owns this boat and so privacy is the other thing, plus the exposure to the liability. Tax exposure is one thing. You need to look at that when you’re doing chartering because if you have charter income, you definitely will be exposed to income tax. The other thing will be the crew restriction. Although for pleasure yacht registration, there is no NLC or many requirements because it’s private, I do know that many owners actually hire foreign crew. For Cook Islands, we do not have restrictions on crew. Any nationality, so long as they have the proper qualification and training and have the certificates to prove that, we are able to accept them. Unlike some flags, we don't impose nationality quotas. So, to wrap things up, registering your boat is a vital step for both legal compliance and ensuring safety on the water. While the process might seem daunting at first, seeking assistance from professionals can simplify it significantly.
