SHIP REGISTRY
The AMP has installed a new electronic Ship Register onto an electronic page
(
www.panamaregistry.com) for required document inputs and consultation. In addition, the Ship Registry has implemented the Electronic Inspection System designed to improve the quality of inspections and shorten the time to make a decision in the case of an eventual problem. Surveyors will use a Smartphone (App) to fill the inspection form electronically. This report will be sent immediately to the offices of the Registry, at the AMP’s merchant marine directorate, giving the staff time enough to proceed with the analysis of the situation in real time, allowing an immediate decision if necessary. The inspection report will then be printed on a thermal printer and delivered to the Captain of ship being inspected. The
Panama is actively involved in the international initiative against piracy
Register will begin training all its ASI inspectors in October 2011 in cities in China, Greece, in Florida, USA, Japan and Singapore.
The three major open registries – Panama, Liberia and Marshall Islands – signed a joint statement in Washington in August 2011 condemning the violence of piracy against seafarers in the Gulf of Aden and the coast of Somalia. The agreement also seeks to give the International Maritime Bureau, a non- profit organisation, the facilities to receive all information about the human cost of piracy. The AMP’s Administrator Roberto Linares, who signed the agreement on behalf of the Panama Flag, said that in 2011 four Panama-flagged vessels were attacked by Somali pirates and one was seized. ‘Panama is actively involved this
international initiative against piracy and because we must find, together, an effective solution to ensure the integrity of seafarers,’ explained Linares. Panama has established the tripartite Maritime Labour Commission formed by the State (AMP), employers (Panama Chamber of Shipping) and employees (represented by the ITF) of the maritime sector and rules and regulations have been approved by the tripartite commission. The AMP through its departments of merchant marine and seafarers has delegated the implementation of the MLC2006 to the Class Societies and Recognised Organisations (ROs). Both Class Societies and ROs are training local technicians for the voluntary certification and guidance to the ship owners before the issuance of certifications required by the Convention. •
