It was 50 years ago Liberia's maritime program opened its doors to the world's shipping community. Within no time that community responded quickly, and in three months the 29,000dwt tanker World Peace, a large vessel by the standards of her day, had become the first ocean going merchant vessel to fly Liberia's star and stripes. Those 50 years have seen the fleet grow until today it stands at being one of the largest registries in the world.
Today's position has as its foundation the high standards set and maintained during those 50 years. Liberia has often led the world in introducing new standards of safety and in implementing new international codes and conventions, and the flag is recognized as being the Premier of the open registry. The registry has a reputation for quality, efficiency, safety, and service. Liberia also offers one of the most convenient, efficient, and tax effective offshore corporate registries in the world.
Administration is being updated to become more efficient and legislation is being reviewed in our efforts to make Liberia still more attractive to the ship owner without losing sight of the high standards we have set. The registry has offices in Vienna Virginia, USA, New York, Piraeus Greece, Hong Kong, London, Monrovia, Zurich and Tokyo.
