Does the company provide general HR and/or payroll services to crewmembers? If “Yes”, your BVI company is conducting shipping business. Does the company provide placement of crew-members in ships or vessels and the repatriation of outgoing crewmembers? Does it participate in the relevant logistics, like getting the plane tickets, airport transfer etc.? If “Yes”, your BVI company is conducting shipping business.
The BVI Business Companies Act, 2004 (“BC Act”) came into force on January 1st, 2005, to replace the International Business Companies Act, 1984 and the Companies Act (Cap 285).

BVI BC’s are not required to specify the par value of its shares or the currency; however, clients may request this option. All companies must state the classes of shares they are authorized to issue, and, if the company is authorized to issue two or more classes of shares, the rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to each share.

Generally, it is a must for companies to register and maintain their profiles and data with the Company Registrar. However, you can feel secure as all information of identity would be kept confidential. Many offshore countries shall not disclose the company’s beneficial owners, directors, and shareholders to the public, except in certain cases like a court order or international arrangements between related overseas jurisdictions. Many jurisdictions provide an excellent cover for your assets. Besides financial privacy policies, you can benefit from the foreign judgment denial. This means, your assets are shielded against the judgment made by foreign courts. Only the court of the incorporation jurisdiction can place a judgment on the assets.
