27 October 2011 Marine Advisory: 08/2011

SUBJECT: Certificates and Documents issued by the Republic of Liberia Reference: Verification of Document / Certificate

Dear Owner/Operator and Masters:

As of October 2, 2006, the Liberian Administration started issuing maritime certificates and documents that are printed with signature and stamp/seal of the Deputy Commissioner, Republic of Liberia. These certificates correspond in form to the models given in SOLAS, MARPOL and other relevant conventions.

The Republic of Liberia Letter on Certificates and Documents announcing this procedure was revised on July 29, 2011 and reissued on September 24, 2011. The Letter is included with the certificates issued to newly registered vessels and is also available on our website at the Maritime Document Verification page.

Owners and Operators are requested to ensure their Liberian flagged vessels have on board a copy of the revised July 29, 2011 Letter. Letters dated September 24, 2008 or earlier should be removed and replaced with the new revised.
