One of the functions of the Authority is to manage the South African Ship Registry as well as promote the Register with a view to<br />
attracting investors to register their ships under the South African Flag. We anticipate that the promulgation of Maritime Transport<br />
Policy and the Tonnage Tax Policy will provide the basis for the revamping of the Ship Registry to generate revenue for the country and<br />
also provide employment for South African Seafarers.<br />
At the close of the financial year <strong>2015</strong>-16 1 455 ships with a gross tonnage of 434 428.93 tons were registered under the South African<br />
flag.<br />
