How to use this page

The Liberia Maritime Authority and The Liberian Registry / LISCR handle Liberian registration, flag documents and seafarer credentials. We review files, prepare checklists, coordinate the proper official route, track responses and deliver issued documents when available. Where a current surveyor appointment and Liberian RO authority are confirmed, our appointed surveyor may conduct the applicable class or statutory survey through the appointing organization; otherwise we verify the route or coordinate with the owner's selected authorized society. We are not the flag, issuer, classification society, training centre or medical practitioner.

Ship Registration

Liberia publishes standard, provisional and permanent registration, BCR, FBCR, under-construction, flag-transfer, laid-up and re-registration routes. The form and supporting file depend on the transaction; re-registration and some route checklists have limited public detail.

Classification / RO list status 12 named organizations
Source date, scope and limitations

An undated named list was verified on the current official Liberian Registry Regulations and Standards page, accessed 2026-09-13: it names 12 classification societies and states that they conduct surveys and issue statutory certificates on behalf of Liberia. The page does not publish per-organization class/statutory scope, so the rows distinguish class authority from Liberia-delegated statutory authority and do not infer a certificate-by-certificate matrix.

RSO list status 12 named organizations
Source date, scope and limitations

An undated named class/RO list and an older named-list/policy notice were verified. The current official page accessed 2026-09-13 names 12 classification societies; Marine Notice ISP-001 Rev. 06/12 states that the classification societies authorized by Liberia are also Liberian Recognized Security Organizations and may conduct ISPS verification audits. No current standalone RSO list or per-organization ISPS/ISSC scope matrix was verified; the RSO rows therefore record only the functions expressly established by ISP-001 and do not imply broader authority.
