The hour-long webinar will take place at 2100SGT on 21st October and I will be moderating an interesting panel which includes: Rafael Cigarruista, head of the Panama Ship Registry; Simon Ring, Pole Star, Global Head of Financial Markets Compliance and Joaquin de Obarrio, Attorney at Patton, Moreno & Asvat law firm.

In a paperwork intensive business, effective digitalistion has become a key differentiator. The panel will look at how the Panama Registry has become fully digital and the processes and safeguards involved in this investment and how digitalisation has accelerated the process of remote surveys.

Inspections and the importance of compliance and the Port State Control record of registries, will feature amongst the topics and the panel will discuss what is happening in the ship registry space and what forms of cooperation might be seen in the future.

Join me and the panel in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the Panama Maritime Review which has seen all aspects of this busy maritime and shipping sector discussed, analysed and reviewed; as well as some of the top names in the industry interviewed.
