Marshall Islands registry opens Taiwan office
International Registries Inc., the maritime and corporate administrators for the Marshall Islands, opened a full service office in Taipei, Taiwan April 1.
'After marketing in Taiwan for some years already, it was time to set up our own office to provide 'home cooking' services to Taiwanese ship owners,' said Annie Ng, managing director of International Registries (Far East) Ltd.
'The global fleet is growing even while the economic crisis continues. That being said, ship owners are becoming even more discerning in choosing a registry for their vessels,' said Bill Gallagher, IRI president. 'Service to customers and the quality of the fleet both play critical roles in choice of flag. With a growing registry of 69.7 million gross tons and over 2,400 registered vessels, providing full service offices in key locations worldwide translates into greater efficiency and cost savings for our owners.'
