The Gibraltar Maritime Administration was established in its present format in 1997, going on to obtain White List status under the Paris MoU on port state control. The Gibraltar Registry of Ships has experienced steady growth over the last eight years and is an EU member states register, entitling it to, amongst other privileges, EU cabotage. Gibraltar is a Category One Red Ensign register, the only one in the EU other than the UK. It offers shipowners the opportunity of belonging to a British register and being able to fly the Red Ensign without incurring high costs.
