The AVECS Corporation AG is a software company developing quality & safety management software for the marine industry in accordance with ISO 9001.
The company was founded in 1994 as a two-man company based in Potsdam. The ever-increasing rate of accidents at sea and falling safety standards gave Captain Hans-Werner Schleiter the idea to try and change this situation by developing specialised safety software. The concept was based on the then new international legislation (ISM - International Safety Management Code), introduced to improve safety onboard ships worldwide.
During the development of the system, experts from maritime industry, nautical universities and software ergonomics were involved. Test installations onboard ensured that the functionality required by users was available in a user-friendly interface.
The AVECS Corporation currently employs around 50 people, some of whom with extensive seagoing experience.
American Marine Corporation is the lead organization in what is now known as the American Marine Services Group.
The current companies of American Marine Services Group began to take shape in 1985 with the formation of Pacific Environmental Corporation (PENCO). PENCO was formed in response to growing environmental awareness and legislation. PENCO has grown into a leading provider of emergency marine oil spill response and related environmental services and is currently the primary responder for the State of Hawaii.
Continued growth in Hawaii lead to the formation of North Pacific Construction in 1995. North Pacific Construction has undertaken projects throughout the Pacific Basin, specializing in work involving diving, vessel and environmental components. Recent projects include construction of a new seawall on Johnston Island for the Navy and a new marina at Ko'Olina, Hawaii.
Recognizing that American Divers, American Workboats, and North Pacific Construction shared many of the same customers and corporate administration, management took a bold step to combine the three operating companies into a single organizayion. During the summer of 1998 American Marine Corporation was formed. AMC continues to provide customers with the level of service they've grown to expect from an American Marine Services Group company, American Marine Corporation is committed to building upon the reputation of its predecessors.

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.
