Send electronically with virk.dk
Please note that all forms that can be submitted electronically must be completed electronically and signed using NemID by the person(s) authorised to sign on behalf of the owner of the ship.
You send the forms to the Register of Shipping via virk.dk.
An electronic form has been received by the Register of Shipping when the sender receives a confirmation e-mail stating a file number; file numbers begin by the current year followed by six digits – a total of 10 digits – for example 2018000132.
Documents which must be sent as original documents must carry the original signature(s) of the person(s) authorised to sign on behalf of the owner. All signatures must be repeated in block capitals or typescript so that the signatories’ names are legible. Spouses and cohabitants cannot sign as attesting witnesses for each other. Also state the full address (in block capitals or typescript).
Always fill out all fields in the forms carefully – read more under document requirements
If you have any questions about how to complete the forms, please contact the Register of Shipping at tel. + 45 72 19 60 00 or by e-mail to srg@dma.dk
Procedure for registration or transfer of ownership of a ship
When the Register of Shipping receives documents concerning the creation of interests – bills of sale, mortgage documents, S or R forms – a daily log number is assigned to the document. The sooner the document is assigned a log number, the sooner the protection of interests obtained through the registration will take effect. In respect of ships whose port of registry is in Greenland, all non-electronic documents may be sent to the Register of Shipping by e-mail with the subject field ‘Notification to daily log’. The daily log number will then be assigned on the basis of the e-mail and that way you will achieve an earlier daily log date.
