Few detentions for BMA in 2019


The United States Coast Guard (USCG) has been implementing its Qualship 21 programme (quality shipping for the 21st century) since 2001. The Bahamas Maritime Authority (BMA) was recently included in the USCG 'Qualship 21' list, which recognises the quality of Bahamas registered ships, their owners/managers and crew, operating to and from United States ports.

 

The Bahamas just witnessed two detentions out of all the 538 US port state inspections of Bahamas flagged ships in the course of 2019.

 

Furthermore, the BMA is at the top of the so-called ‘Whitelist’ within the port state control regimes of the Paris MoU and Tokyo MoU. (mw)
