IRI - Is there an age requirement?

Vessels should not be more than 20 years of age at the time of registration; however, vessels older than 20 years may be granted a waiver for registration depending on the vessel’s condition and whether the vessel meets the requirements of its Classification Society. Applications for vessels 15 years of age or older should be submitted with a Status Report of the vessel’s statutory survey and certification and a copy of its latest Intermediate or Special Survey Report.
