The Malaysia International Ship Registry (MISR) is a body for the registering of international ships. The MISR has been established to encourage individual and foreign shipping companies to register their ships in Malaysia without having to comply with the requirements of a Malaysian majority shareholder.
The MISR serves as an alternative ship registration system to the traditional shipping registry in Malaysia and aims to create a competitive shipping registry to those in other parts of the world. The MISR will further boost the development and promotion of the maritime industry in the country as well as the financial and business activities in Labuan IBFC.
