Conventions / Treaties


Seychelles has the unique advantage of being, at the same time:

  • A member of the United Nations
  • A member of the Commonwealth
  • The group of non-aligned countries
  • The O.A.U.
  • The Indian Ocean Commission

And in this context, vessels flying the Seychelles flag receives friendly treatment world-wide.


Additionally, Seychelles is a member of the International Maritime Organisation (IMO).


Equipment and arrangements approved by other Maritime administration as complying with the IMO conventions are generally acceptable.
