9. Comments

Although the Flag is listed in the Black list of paris and Tokyo, is strongly recommended.
There is a strong Merchant Shipping Act. Very good co-operation of Government with the International registry. Flexible and fast response on administrative and Technical matters. Very experienced on Mortgage registration issues.
It is expected in the next 1-2 years to return in the Grey List.

Also is one of the very few countries issuing Fishing Licenses for High Seas.
