Renewing the registration costs £35, the renewal can be completed using the UK Ship Register online service.
You will need to create an account before you can renew and will also need to claim your vessel if you have not already done so.
By using the UK Ship Register online service there is no need to sign or return any documents, and payments can be made online.
