We provide a 24/7 emergency service, 365 days a year; urgent dispensation and exemptions may be dealt with outside of normal office hours, and the Principal Registrar may be contacted directly for help, advice and guidance. The whole team at BMSR is dedicated, friendly and helpful.

Celebrating Vidhi on her 4th Work Anniversary

Today, we proudly celebrate 4 incredible years of dedication, growth, and impact from Vidhi Shah at BMSR. From embracing complex challenges to bringing calm to chaos, Vidhi has consistently gone above and beyond—not just as a valued Registrar, but as a collaborator, problem solver, and positive force within our team.

Happy Birthday to our Chairman Mr Fergusson.

Capt. Fergusson, we can remember many years ago how many faces would light up when you visited the High Commission: it took a while to find out part of the reason was not only that you knew everyone by name, but they were all hoping for the flying fish you would bring!

Elvis has been a true ambassador for BMSR and the Barbados Flag, leading with passion, integrity, and unwavering commitment. From building meaningful partnerships to strengthening the STCW department, his contributions have been instrumental in our journey.
