Liberia positioning

Liberia is the second largest ship registry in the world, according to leading shipping analyst Clarksons in its “Clarksons World Fleet Monitor, January 2019”. This report confirms that, in gross tonnage terms, Liberia has overtaken and outgrown the Marshall Islands. Alfonso Castillero, CCO of the Liberian International Ship & Corporate Registry (LISCR), the US-based manager of the Liberian Registry, said: “The Liberian fleet was the fastest growing major open flag in both the shipping and offshore sectors in 2018 and currently has a growth rate of 8 per cent.”
