A voluntary registration is available for vessels under 15 metres, but over 10 metres, commercial vessels, certain fishing vessels, cranes and mud vessels, and fixed offshore installations for other purposes than peopleum exploitation. Only Norwegian owned or operated ships can register, though ships registered in Norwegian International Ship Register or other foreign ship registers are exempt.
