In the early 1990’s, Luxembourg took the first steps towards what today is recognised worldwide as a successful maritime regime. After ratifying the majority of conventions governing safety, working conditions and environmental protection, Luxembourg rose to the ranks of European nations possessing a serious and attractive maritime flag.
In less than 20 years, the Luxembourg maritime legislation has proven its effectiveness and the Luxembourg shipping sector continues to grow even in an environment of a continuously changing global economy.
Over the years, more and more groups operating in the maritime business have discovered the unique balance that the Luxembourg maritime regime strikes between regulation and flexibility. The Luxembourg regime also offers great advantages in comparison to other regimes applying a tonnage tax system.
As of 2016 a total of 218 vessels have been registered in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg with a total gross tonnage of 2.548.853 t.
It is the Luxembourg regime’s ability to offer customised solutions in the field of investments, banking and tax, and easy access to the Luxembourg institutions and authorities which are amongst the main reasons for maritime of Luxembourg for its headquarters.

Flag State Performance:
The issues and standards that a Flag State has to deal with are mainly a result of international conventions. Luxembourg nevertheless applies a comprehensive approach when adopting its working procedures and tries to limit the burden of national requirements wherever possible. The maritime administration is one of the few administrations that maintain a quality management system leading to ISO 9001: 2000 certification.
There are no requirements as to the nationality of the officers or crew. Officers and crew employed onboard ships sailing under the Luxembourg flag benefit from excellent social protection.
It is the substantial benefits and the great flexibility offered to ship owners as well as ship operators, in comparison to the general environment in the neighbouring countries which are the main reason for setting up business in Luxembourg.
Tax aspects in a nutshell:
The combination of the exemption from municipal business tax, and the benefit from an investment tax credit puts Luxembourg maritime companies in a position where nil taxation can be achieved.
