The Executive Director of the Liberia Labour and Governance Alliance (LILGA), George S. Tengbeh, was featured in an exclusive interview with Swiss National Broadcaster (SRF) discussing the Liberia Maritime Authority (LMA), the Liberian International Ship & Corporate Registry (LISCR), and the Flag of Convenience (FOC).
Liberia has operated an open maritime registry since 1948 and today administers the world's largest ship registry, with more than 6,000 vessels representing over 300 million gross tons (GT). Through the Liberia Maritime Authority (LMA) and the Liberian International Ship & Corporate Registry (LISCR), shipowners pay registration fees, annual tonnage taxes, inspections, certifications, corporate registration fees, mortgage recording fees, and other maritime service charges—raising important questions about how this globally significant maritime industry contributes to Liberia's economic development, employment, and national prosperity.
Watch the interview, share your thoughts, and join the conversation on transparency, accountability, and maximizing Liberia's maritime sector for national development.
