IMMARBE receives Kudos from U.S. Coast Guard

The International Marine Registry of Belize, better known as IMMARBE, has received a vote of confidence from the United States Coast Guard. According to press release Belize is one of only nine countries to qualify this year for the Coast Guard’s Qualship twenty-one program. The designation is based on no incidents of Belize flagged ships being detained for violations at U.S ports for the last three years. According to IMMARBE the designation paves the way for the registry to attract higher quality vessels from larger shipping companies. In addition to Belize the other countries receiving the Qualship twenty-one states are Barbados, Bermuda, Canada, China, Hong Kong, Liberia, the Marshall Islands and Vanuatu.
