As an overseas Territory of the United Kingdom (UK), vessels registered in BVI are essentially British Ships entitled to the same rights, privileges, protection and security as British Ships at home and abroad; without being subject to the metropolitan fiscal regimes.

The legal system of the BVI is based on the British tradition of English Common Law. The Privy Council in London is the court of final appeal in all respects.

Registry means the placing upon the Register for the first time of any ship; British of foreign built, old or new.
