Introduction
Membership contributions to the KVNR are based fairly on membership type, vessel type, tonnage and flag register. Shipping companies are always, in principle, ‘ordinary members’, and are obliged to register all their Dutch-flagged ships with the KVNR.
Non-shipowners who are still active in the maritime sector are eligible to become associated members. This could be, for example, a company that offers maritime training courses, or a bank that is involved in ship financing.
