Mortgages

Mortgages may be taken out on ships and ships under constructions registered in the Swedish Ship Register. A mortgage deed is issued as proof of the lien.

Stamp duty is charged at 0.4% of the mortgage sum (applies only to liens on ships).

Calculation of stamp duty on mortgages in foreign currency is predicated on the existence of a reliable exchange rate between the mortgage currency and SEK; see the Stockholm Exchange website under the heading “Currency Fixing.”

Boats cannot be mortgaged.
