Representatives of the Panama Ship Registry, administered by the Panama Maritime Authority (AMP), visited companies in Singapore, since Panama is among the Top 5 most-used flags in Singapore with more than 3.7M gt.

The main topics of their presentations with the company Executive Ship Management were the Maritime Agreement between the Republics of Panama and China, which provides substantial benefits to ships visiting ports in China and issues related to modernization, digitization, certifications, and inspections.

And with Capt. Raymond Peter of Bernhard Schulte Shipmanagement, they discussed the advances in technology, agreements of cooperation and the important commercial relationship that exists between Panama and BSM.

Similar meetings were held with Shiplink and Transword Group, who expressed their interest in continuing working with Panama Ship Registry because of the personalized attention they receive; and with Unix Line and Fleet Ship Management with special emphasis on registration issues, seafarers, and special incentives.

The Panamanian delegation participated in a dinner with CSSC Energy where they presented the options offered by the Panamanian flag in flagging, support, and incentives for their clients.

High on the Panamanian delegation’s agenda was a dinner with the Asia Ship Owner Association, where they discussed Panama's relationship with the association and the interest of presenting joint positions to the International Maritime Organization, as well as the development of a work plan between Panama and the Asia Ship Owner Association.
