Most experts agree that the best solution is an offshore registry in countries where the safe fiscal and legal systems offer relatively simple procedures for setting up offshore corporate structures such as Cayman Islands, the Channel Islands or Bermuda. The largest ship registry in the world is Panama, with almost 9,000 ships.
