Clarkson crowns Liberia
According to "Clarksons World Fleet Monitor January 2019" published by the consultancy and analyst Clarksons, the ship registry of Liberia has outgrown the Marshall Islands in gross tonnage terms. The Marshall Islands registry now languishes in third place.
Alfonso Castillero, CCO of the Liberian International Ship & Corporate Registry (Liscr), the US-based manager of the Liberian Registry, said: “The Liberian fleet was the fastest growing major open flag in both the shipping and offshore sectors in 2018, and currently has a growth rate of 8% - more than twice that of most other open flags."
