Haiti Ship Registration

Haiti Ship Registration (HSR) is the national authority responsible for regulating and overseeing Haiti's maritime and port-related activities. Situated in the heart of the Caribbean, Haiti maintains key seaports—such as Port-au-Prince, Cap-Haïtien, and Les Cayes—that play a critical role in regional and international trade, logistics, and maritime transport. The HSR's mandate is to ensure safe, secure, and efficient maritime operations, promote environmental stewardship, and implement international standards that strengthen Haiti's presence in the global maritime sector.
