What we do
From drafting the Sale and Purchase Agreement to releasing funds from escrow, we manage the full process — so you sign once and we handle the rest.
Sale and Purchase Agreement
We draft and review the full SPA in English, including all schedules, parties' details, and vessel particulars — compliant with Thai law and LIYR requirements.
Escrow Agent services
Funds held securely at Siam Commercial Bank, Phuket. Released to the Seller only when every agreed condition is verified. Full protection for both sides.
Bill of Sale — notarized
Prepared and certified in-house by our in-house Notary Public. No need for a third-party notary or apostille in most cases.
Power of Attorney
POA for both Buyer and Seller — drafted, executed, and notarized by our in-house Notary Public. Enables our team to act on your behalf across all authorities.
UK / EU flag deletion
We coordinate the deletion application to the UK Ship Register (MCA) or other flag state, and obtain the Certificate of Deletion required for re-registration.
Langkawi registration (LIYR)
Full liaison with our appointed LIYR-registered local agent in Langkawi. We prepare and forward the complete document package for submission to the flag office.
MMSI license application
After the Certificate of Registry is issued, we coordinate the MMSI and radio call sign application through the appropriate Malaysian authority.
Full transaction management
We coordinate between all parties — Buyer, Seller, UK Ship Register, Langkawi agent, and Marine Department — from start to close. You sign once. We do the rest.
