Commonwealth of Dominica

A Message from The Registry
Dear Maritime Representatives,
Welcome to the Commonwealth of Dominica Maritime Registry. It is a great privilege for me to offer ship owners,
operators and mariners an opportunity to join an international shipping registry that prides itself on serving the
shipping community with the best of support possible. Our service to our customers is second to none! We have
constantly been told by new customers that they wish they would have flagged their vessels with the Commonwealth
of Dominica years ago.
Our dedicated staff and global offices understand the necessity of a customer service focused Maritime
Administration. Customer service is our number one priority. We don't expect any of our customers to have to wait
for answers for days or weeks - we answer all emails within a 24 hour period. We are on call 24 hours per day, 7 days
per week. Our website is a useful tool for our customers - www.dominica-registry.com.
Our mariner and seafarer training and certification program is exceptional by worldwide standards. We have a global
training network through our parent company, Northeast Maritime Institute www.northeastmaritime.com, which has
affiliate schools in the Commonwealth of Dominica, Republic of Georgia, Thailand, India, Bangladesh, and many
more to come. Each facility falls under the management of NMI's head school in the U.S., which is approved by the
Massachusetts Department of Education and the United States Coast Guard. NMI is also ISO 9001/2008 compliant.
Shipowners can have peace of mind when hiring mariners who hold original Commonwealth of Dominica Certificates
of Competence. Our mariner certification program is listed on the International Maritime Organization's “White List”
of Nations as a fully compliant program under the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certifications
and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW) for issuance of original and endorsed Certificates of Competence.
I hope that you will consider our Maritime Registry for the flagging of your vessels. I'm positive that you will be happy,
the customer service will amaze you and our support will ensure that your profits grow!
Eric R. Dawicki, President
Commonwealth of Dominica International Maritime Registry
