Tonnage services
We provide tonnage certificates based on international and national tonnage regulations as well as the Suez Canal Special Tonnage Certificate and tonnage documentation to obtain the Panama Canal certificate from the Canal authorities.
The International Convention on Tonnage Measurement of Ships (ITC69) applies to vessels engaged in international trade. Tonnage is not only crucial for many regulations but also used for calculating fees or other purposes.
