The Swiss Maritime Navigation Office (SMNO) is the Swiss government authority responsible for ships flying the Swiss flag. It operates under the Federal Department of Foreign Affairs and is based in Basel, which serves as the home port for all commercial seagoing vessels, yachts, coastal boats and Rhine vessels registered under the Swiss flag. The office acts as the flag state authority, supervising commercial seagoing vessels, their operators and crews, as well as sport and leisure craft such as yachts and coastal boats. It maintains the register of Swiss yachts and records of authorised coastal boats, while the Land Registry and Survey Office of Basel-Stadt handles registration of commercial seagoing and Rhine vessels. Beyond registration duties, the SMNO issues flag certificates, confirmations of flag registration, and represents Switzerland in international maritime and inland navigation organisations, including the Central Commission for Navigation on the Rhine.
