Continuous synopsis record (CSR) forms and guidance

With this form, UK vessel owners can make amendments to a Continuous Synopsis Record or apply for a new one.

The Continuous Synopsis Record (CSR) is a kind of log book. It stays with the ship for as long as the ship exists. The CSR contains a plethora of pertinent information about the vessel: such as its flag, name, class, ISM, ownership chain, and so forth.

The CSR must be maintained for many different kinds of vessels. These include passenger ships on international voyages, class A passenger ships that operated domestic services on the waters of the UK and cargo ships of 500GT and above on international voyages among others.

CSRs for UK-registered ships are issued in the English language.

Remember: the CSR must keep its copy of the entire CSR on board. That’s true even if it is sold to another owner, transferred to another flag state, if another company takes on the responsibility of operating the vessel or even if it is taken over by another bareboat charter.

All of our CSR forms among many others can be completed on any device due to our mobile optimization. As such, users can complete these forms from anywhere they would like and on a device of their choosing. Safe travels on the water.
