What this is
The registration of floating craft with the Ministry of Transport through the Directorate of Maritime Affairs and Inland Waterways is an administrative procedure involving the entry of a ship, boat, or vessel into the national maritime register. This process assigns a unique number to the craft and authorizes it to sail under the Cameroonian flag. The procedure ensures that the craft meets safety and seaworthiness standards. Registration of floating craft is subject to the payment of administrative fees.
