Does the Liberian Government directly operate the Registry?
No, the BMA currently uses the services of the Liberian International Ship and Corporate Registry (LISCR) as its agent to aid the Government in the management of the Liberian Registry and to administer the provisions of the Liberia Maritime laws, including the collection of the maritime tonnage tax, and all other fees, charges and other exactions payable to the government with respect to ships registered under the laws of Liberia. Since its inception, the Liberian Registry has been operated from the United States; this provides the Registry the ability to participate in the international arena with key industry institutions such as the U. S. Coast Guard.
