Global Maritime Consultants Group (GMCG) continues to expand its presence in marine survey services with a significant milestone—GMCG Romania has been officially approved by the Liberia International Ship & Corporate Registry (LISCR) to carry out Annual Safety Inspections (ASI) for vessels calling at Romanian ports, including Constanta, Mangalia, Midia, Braila, Galati, and Tulcea.

This new approval highlights GMCG’s growing influence in the global maritime sector, particularly in broadening the range of services provided under different flags. Liberia, one of the largest and most recognized ship registries in the world, adds to the existing suite of services offered by GMCG, which already includes the Panama, Palau, and Barbados flags. This further solidifies GMCG’s reputation for delivering high-quality, globally recognized maritime inspection services.

A Significant Step for GMCG Romania

Romania now becomes one of the strategic locations where GMCG has inspectors approved by the Liberia Registry. Led by Ionut Paris, the Romanian office is positioned as a key hub for marine inspections in the region.

According to Ionut Paris, “This approval by Liberia is a key milestone for GMCG Romania, providing us with a unique opportunity to expand our service portfolio and better serve our clients. It not only enhances our ability to support vessels calling at Romanian ports but also underscores the trust placed in us by one of the world’s leading ship registries. Our team is ready to deliver even greater value to our clients through high-quality marine survey services, tailored to meet the growing demands of the maritime sector.”

First Liberia Flag Inspection Completed

The first Annual Safety Inspection under the Liberia flag was completed by GMCG Romania in September 2024, with glowing feedback from both the Liberia Registry and the client. This successful inspection demonstrates GMCG’s proficiency and readiness to deliver on Liberia’s rigorous standards, as well as GMCG’s commitment to maritime safety and compliance. This new approval serves as a significant milestone for GMCG, reflecting our specialized expertise in Liberia-approved inspections. The move aligns with GMCG’s broader strategy to extend its Marine Survey Services across different regions and flag states, enhancing global maritime safety.

What This Means for GMCG’s Clients

For vessel operators and owners, this approval means easier and more efficient access to Liberia’s inspection services through GMCG’s Constanta office. The office offers a comprehensive suite of marine survey services beyond Liberia, covering Panama, Palau, and Barbados, ensuring full compliance with international regulations and standards.

The availability of these services provides vessel owners with a seamless and cost-effective way to manage their compliance needs, backed by the trusted expertise of GMCG’s experienced surveyors and marine specialists.

Expanding Services in Romania and Beyond

Romania is now a key office within GMCG approved for Liberia’s Annual Safety Inspections, further supporting GMCG’s mission to offer a diverse and high-quality range of inspection services. The GMCG Romania office, located in Constanta, is rapidly becoming a center of excellence for marine inspections, leveraging its strategic position to serve clients both in the local and broader international market.

This approval strengthens GMCG’s relationships with key stakeholders in the maritime industry and offers a unique opportunity for continued growth in Romania, Guyana, and beyond.

GMCG’s Commitment to Global Maritime Safety

As the demand for efficient and compliant vessel operations continues to grow globally, GMCG remains committed to expanding its service portfolio and maintaining the highest standards of maritime safety. The successful Liberia Flag ASI in Romania is a strong indicator of what’s to come as GMCG continues to offer premium services to its clients.
