Liberia has been building up its office network and representatives in Asia, due to the Registry’s continued rapid growth in the region. Each expansion allows the Registry to meet the specific demands of the market while ensuring that quality of services is never compromised, it said..
Led by Eiji Okazaki, President of the Liberian International Ship and Corporate Registry (LISCR) Japan, the Imabari office contains key staff trained to handle ship registrations and technical issues locally. He has been heading up the Tokyo office since 2017.
LISCR COO, Alfonso Castillero, said, “Opening the Imabari office was a natural step for the Registry; as our client base grows in Japan, we must grow with it. The office is operated by Japanese maritime professionals, speaking the same language as our clients, which is key to providing personalised and high-quality services. Liberia will continue to open offices in key locations around the globe to support Liberian-flagged shipowners, wherever they may be in the world.”
