Zanzibar Maritime Authority circulars

The Zanzibar Maritime Authority is the maritime administration of Zanzibar, Tanzania. It runs the Tanzania Zanzibar International Register of Shipping (TZIRS), an open register whose ships fly the flag of Tanzania. Its circulars, numbered in the FSI series, and its maritime safety advisories go to owners, managers, agents and the recognized organizations that survey TZIRS ships.

Zanzibar Maritime Authority publishes its circulars on zma.go.tz. SuperRonin reads that list at least once a day and keeps this index: 71 documents going back to 2016, 23 of them from 2026.

The latest is Advisory No.05-2026, “Improper Extensions of Statutory Certification”, dated 26 Oct 2026.

Numbers, dates and titles are copied from the issuer's list as they stand there. Each title opens the original document, and the original is the one that counts.
