CISR white-listed under Tokyo Memorandum of Understanding
The George Town headquarters of the Maritime Authority of the Cayman Islands (MACI), parent organization of the Cayman Islands Shipping Registry (CISR), and its European Regional Office in Southampton, UK, recently exchanged congratulations on the announcement of the “White List” status of Cayman Islands Shipping Registry (CISR). The CISR attained it under the Tokyo Memorandum of Understanding on Port State Control.
18 countries have signed the above-mentioned Memorandum of Understanding. These include Japan, China, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, Canada, Chile, and Republic of Korea.
It should be noted that previously the CISR was on the “Grey List”, and therefore it had worked hard with a view to achieve the top ranking.
The MACI’s CEO, Mr. A. Joel Walton, said that this was one of the most important Memoranda of Understanding internationally, and noted that it brings further recognition to the high standing of the Cayman Islands Shipping Registry.
