The Liberian Maritime Bureau has disclosed that it is vying for a ’Category ’A’ seat on the International Maritime Organization Council.
Media reports Wednesday quote Maritime Commissioner Binyan Kessely as saying that Liberia lost the seat owing to the civil crisis which started in 1989 that ended in 2003.
Binyan said as a category ’A’ member, Liberia will have voting rights on the Council, and that and that the country’s image within the global maritime industry would be restored.
Liberia which enjoys more than 60 years of challenging and successful history as a major player in the maritime world, currently boasts of being the second largest maritime nation in the world, with 3,000 vessels at its disposal.
