The Liberian Registry, the world’s largest ship registry, is urging shipowners, managers, crewing agencies, and operators to review and reinforce their seafarer compliance systems.
The Registry maintains ongoing compliance frameworks covering engagement with seafarers, vessels, and corporate entities.
These are designed to protect the Registry, ensure adherence to international regulations, and mitigate regulatory risk for clients and counterparties.
Alfonso Castillero, CEO, Liberian Registry, said: “The regulatory environment has changed, and the industry must adapt. As the leading flag in the maritime industry, the Liberian Registry has made significant investments into compliance, safeguarding and proactive monitoring. In doing so, we are setting a new standard for the industry and call on all responsible parties to implement stricter compliance processes as well.”

The Registry’s Seafarer Certification & Documentation Department is implementing enhanced compliance measures within its digital systems.
These include system-based checks throughout the seafarer application and credential issuance process to strengthen oversight and ensure proper verification.
The measures are intended to reinforce identity verification, traceability, and the integrity of documents issued under the Liberian flag, in line with international regulatory standards.
The initiative aims to support responsible vessel operations, protect seafarers, and maintain the integrity of the Liberian Registry in a complex global maritime environment.
