With over 45 years of proven expertise, ISM Shipping Solutions Ltd. is among the most experienced teams worldwide in Panamanian ship registration. We have assisted shipowners in registering millions of tonnes across multiple jurisdictions.
Our services are comprehensive — guiding owners from the early stages of cost comparison between registries, through requirements, preparation of forms, and filing with Consulates, Registries, and Shipping Departments, all the way to obtaining registration documents.
We work with individual shipping companies, solicitors, sale and purchase brokers, and other stakeholders. Our Managing Director, Maria Dixon, has chaired thousands of closing meetings — expertise few professionals in London, or indeed the world, can match.
