Any yachting entity incorporated or established outside Malaysia, is required to appoint an agent to act on its behalf. This appointment has to be approved by the Minister, see Para [2]. The approved agent operated under terms and conditions set by the Director General of Marine of the Marine Department (MARDEP) Malaysia, see Para [3].

There is a list of 7 recognised agent (so far) under Annex I of MSN10/2023, which includes:

Companies [2] and [4] have decided to be really close to their clients and have set up shop in Langkawi. Company [6] is slightly further away in Penang. Companies [1] and [3] are the middle of the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Only companies [5] and [7] are based in Sinagpore.
