US Vessel Documentation Search Made Easy

Have you been looking for more information about a vessel but aren’t sure where to turn? Has an internet search come up empty in terms of the data you need? When it comes to researching vessels, you want to know the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. Here at the Maritime Documentation Center, we can help with that in many ways. One method that many of our clients have found helpful: a US vessel documentation search. With this, you can find everything you need to know about a vessel easily and simply. 

All a US Vessel Documentation Search Entails 

You can perform a search in just a few short steps. Simply click on “vessel documentation search” on our site. Then, when it comes up, type in the information that you have. The Hull Identification Number (HIN), the Official Number – fill those in and you’ll get the information that you need.  We get our information straight from the United States Coast Guard, so you can know that the information is valid. That said, they don’t update that information all that often, so recent changes to documentation may not be entirely up to date. However, the Coast Guard always updates it eventually.

Search From Anywhere at Any Time 

We designed our site to be optimized for mobile. What that means is that it will open completely and quickly on just about any kind of device, so long as you’re connected to the internet. So, you can search for more information about a vessel during a meeting that’s running a bit long, or when you’re waiting for someone for lunch. Should you be in line, or just have a few minutes to yourself, you can put in for a search and get something done. 

Other Ways to Learn About a Vessel At Our Site 

This “search” is one of our more popular functions, but it’s far from the only way that you can learn more about a vessel at our site. Indeed, you can file for an Abstract of Title, which can tell you just about everything you might need to know about a documented vessel before you purchase it. Additionally, you can find out more about documented vessels overseas with our “Foreign Vessel Title Search Request/Transcript of Registry” form. We see it as more ways that we can help vessel owners just like you to get what you need. 

Beyond Searching 

Many of the forms of documentation we offer can help you to be in compliance with the powers that be. If you decide to document your vessel, that will be reflected in subsequent searches. Additionally, you can renew your vessel’s documentation, get a Preferred Ship’s Mortgage, and so much more through our site. We have document processors on staff as well – they can go through your forms, finding and fixing any little errors that you may have made. To see all that we offer, head to our site right here.
