From April 12th to 15th 2015 maritime industry representatives will be gathering together in Panama City to take part in business meetings and address issues such as formats for permits and concessions in maritime services, among others.
From a statement released by Thebulletinpanama.com:
A proposal has been made for issues related to merchant shipping abroad to be treated by an entity supported by the Maritime Authority and not by traditional consulates.
Separating the management of affairs of the merchant marine services from those provided by traditional consulates is the proposal submitted to the Panamanian Maritime Law Association (APADEMAR). The lawyer who drafted the proposal believes that "... currently, the consuls of traditional Foreign Ministry services have been commissioned to run the business of registering flags. But the results have not been the best because it is not a political service. "
