Practical flag service guide

Active — current official routes verified, with Mainland/Zanzibar route separation

Tanzania Maritime Services

Separate Tanzania Mainland/TASAC and Zanzibar ZMA–TZIRS routes for supported ship registration, statutory/class coordination and seafarer documents. The competent authority, authorized RO/class organization or flag administration remains the issuer; route and authorization checks apply.

Operational information reviewed: 2026-09-13

Official flag authority Zanzibar Maritime Authority (ZMA), with the Tanzania Zanzibar International Register of Shipping (TZIRS) for the international Zanzibar registry; Tanzania Mainland maritime administration and ship-registration services are handled separately through the Tanzania Shipping Agencies Corporation (TASAC). [SRC-01] [SRC-02] [SRC-19]

Tanzania uses separate routes: TASAC for Mainland services and ZMA/TZIRS for Zanzibar local and international services. Pharaohs Marine identifies the correct route, prepares the file, coordinates submission and tracks delivery. For class and statutory work, when our surveyor appointment and the appointing organization’s current Tanzania or Zanzibar authority are confirmed, our appointed surveyor can conduct the applicable survey or audit and manage certification directly from our office through that organization; otherwise we coordinate with an owner-selected authorized society. Seafarer files go to the applicable TASAC, ZMA/TZIRS or approved-training route. The named authority remains the issuer.

Classification / RO list status 25 named organizations

Source date, scope and limitations

Current named list verified: the official TZIRS Approved Recognized Organizations directory, reviewed 2026-09-13, names 25 organizations (12 in its IACS section and 13 in its NON-IACS section). An additional older named list is also verified: ZMA’s official RO PDF names 13 organizations and states it was verified 3 December 2025. The reviewed lists do not publish certificate-by-certificate delegation, class certificate authorization, or organization-specific scope matrices; therefore no class authority is inferred from RO listing and classification_certificate_authorized is null unless a flag authorization is expressly published (none was).

Seafarer Certification

Zanzibar/TZIRS supports recognition endorsements for valid national CoC/CoP and related seafarer documents; Mainland TASAC rules support national COC/CoP and SID routes. Underlying certificates remain with their issuing administration, and no general first-national-COC Zanzibar route is asserted.

How Pharaohs Marine helps

Pharaohs Marine can review the file; where a course-certificate step is required, submit it to an approved training centre we work with, subject to current approval and working-relationship verification. We then submit the complete file to the flag administration where required, track the route and help deliver the issued certificate when available. The training centre or flag administration remains the issuer.

Training-centre list status No public named list verified

No public named Tanzania/Zanzibar flag-approved or flag-recognized maritime/STCW training-centre list was verified in the official sources reviewed on 2026-09-13. ZMA’s current STCW guideline and directorate pages publish document/training requirements and the education/training remit but no centre names; the TZIRS approved organization and flag-inspector pages do not publish a training-centre directory; TASAC’s official homepage links Dar es Salaam Maritime Institute and Dar es Salaam Maritime Training Academy as notable sites but does not label them approved centres. Therefore the list is empty; exact course scope, approval/resolution and expiry are not publicly published in the reviewed official directory.
