The "Ownership" block shows who owns and manages the vessel — the registered owner, manager and related companies.
What you see
- Registered owner and ship manager / operator.
- Related companies in the ownership chain.
How to see past owners and managers
Further down the vessel page sits the "Company history" section — changes of owner, operator and DOC holder grouped by role chain: owners separately, managers separately. Each record carries a "from — to" period: the end is derived from the start of the next record of the same role, the current holder's period stays open ("present") and carries a "Current" badge. If two records of a role share a start date and the role has a single holder — an owner or an ISM manager — the record that was replaced shows a single date instead of a period. In the combined ship manager / commercial manager role two companies with the same date may have worked side by side, so they share one period. When the registry does not say when a record stopped applying, the end reads "no data". A mark such as "before Oct 2017" in place of a date means the registry gives no exact transfer date: it took place before that month or year.
The section is available on the PRO and ENTERPRISE plans; without them the page states how many records the registry chain holds. The same rule applies to the vessel card on the map and to the vessel panel in My Fleet: the free plan shows the current companies and the number of history records. The vessel dossier carries the ownership history on any plan.
