Portugal’s international ship registry is making a concerted effort to expand its footprint in the world’s biggest shipping market — Greece.
As the world digests the lessons learned in the Covid-19 pandemic, the International Shipping Register of Madeira expects to find fertile ground in Piraeus for its newly created, fully digital services.
“Portugal is now one of the first countries worldwide, if not the first, to have simultaneously implemented digital certification for vessels and for seafarers,” said Ricardo Serrao Santos, the country’s minister for maritime affairs, on a visit to the flag’s recently established office in Piraeus.
