What ending must a Marshall Islands corporation name have?

Last updated: Oct 21, 2026, 17:46 (UTC+08:00)

The name must show that it is a corporation, with an ending such as “Corporation”, “Incorporated”, “Limited” or an abbreviation like “Corp.”, “Inc.” or “Ltd.” (confirm the full list with your specialist). It must also differ from names already on the register. Shipowning groups often number their companies, for example one name per vessel.
