Merchant
Marine Circular No. 270
Please find attached copy of Merchant Marine Circular No. 270 recently
issued by Panama Maritime Authority (PMA).
Those vessels engaged in
international services that are registered or seeking to be registered under
Panamanian flag, but that are specifically engaged in fishing, capturing,
transferring and transport of aquatic resources, as well as those engaged in
activities of support the operations of capturing these resources, must have an
“International Fishing License”.
The Administration informs
that Reefers Ships engaged in the activities of support or assistance in the
operation of capturing fishing resources, must process their Fishing License
with the Authority of Aquatic Resources of Panama (ARAP).
Those reefers ships that are not involved in above mentioned activities are not required to have this special license; however, they are required to submit to the General Directorate of Merchant Marine of PMA a “Declaration of the Product” being transported, within a period of 60 days. This measure is for the optimal control of the product carried by every ship and that reefers ships under Panama flag are in compliance with the regulations related to fishing matters.
