About the American Samoa Flag

Registry Authority

The American Samoa ship registry is administered by the country's national maritime authority and operates within the framework of the major IMO conventions — SOLAS, MARPOL, STCW, and MLC 2006 — that govern global commercial shipping. Ships flying the American Samoa flag are subject to the registry's flag-state inspections and are tracked through the AIS network alongside every other internationally trading vessel.

Why Ships Register Here

Owners typically choose a national flag like American Samoa for one of three reasons: domestic cabotage rules that reserve coastal trade for nationally flagged tonnage, government-cargo preferences that favour the home flag, or the simple operational advantage of being regulated by the same jurisdiction in which the company is headquartered. Quality flags also offer Port State Control benefits in the Paris MOU, Tokyo MOU, and US Qualship 21 frameworks.
