The following article cirulated by BIMCO conserning the relations of the Panamanian Administration and Paris MOU PSC as a result with numerous detentions.


BIMCO has received the following Marine Notice and readers are advised to be guided accordingly:

“Panama Maritime Authority Marine Notice 001-2009

To: Ship Owners/Operators, Masters of Panamanian Vessels, Legal Representative, Recognized Organizations

Subject: Detention of the Panamanian Fleet

From: General Director of Merchant Marine

Date: October 14, 2009

The purpose of this communication is to formally inform all parties that any vessel which is detained by any member state of the Paris MOU from the date of the present notice until the end of 2009, will be subject to an immediate cancellation of the registry and the navigation documents, such as statutory certificates, registrations and/or radio station license.

In cases where the administration has prove that the inspector who had carried out the survey of the statutory certificates has direct responsibility or had fail to detect a deficiency, that was detected by the PSCO during the survey, will not be able to carry out surveys or issue certificates to any Panamanian vessel. At the same time the Panama Maritime Authority will cancel the inspector who performs an occasional survey on board, if the vessels are detained after the survey.

The Panama Maritime Authority advice Ship Owners/Operators, Master, Legal Representative and Recognized Organizations to make sure that your vessels are in full compliance with all the International Conventions and national regulations. These decisions are based on the multiple detentions of our fleet, which has been taking place at the Paris MOU, creating a disagreeable image to the Panamanian registry.

General Director of Merchant Marine”
