I am Vince Cate and live in Anguilla and am now working on http://seastead.ai/ai
We have a design for a seastead that we can get fabricated in China, shipped
here, and then assembled locally and launched.   I have some 1.3 acres
right next to the port and a big crane.

I applied to "The Planning Department" and they have zone my land a shipyard.

Please help discuss legal things that should be done before before we launch the seastead
so I don't get into any trouble with the government.

Our hope is to register the vessel in Anguilla before launching.
Please discuss what might be required by Anguilla for registration.

If this ends up being too hard we may register it in Panama as they seem 
to have already registered some seasteads (or seapods as they are called).

What are the IMO guidelines for non-traditional marine structures?

Please explain the Lloyds Register floating structure certification process.

The Seasteading Institute was working on making a clasification society for
Seasteads.  How far along are they?  Could they help us in a year?
