The recently published Paris MoU White List once again highlights the strong performance of the Portuguese flag, with Portugal moving up three places to 14th position.
The achievement reflects the collective efforts of Portuguese shipowners and managers, the responsible Portuguese authorities, and all partners committed to maintaining the highest standards of safety, conditions on board, and environmental responsibility.
A strong position in the Port State Control (PSC) rankings demonstrates high standards of safety, environmental protection, and regulatory compliance while reducing the likelihood of inspections, deficiencies, and unplanned port delays. This creates tangible value for ships operating under the Portuguese flag.
Against the backdrop of increasingly stringent PSC requirements, growing sustainability expectations, and a stronger global focus on quality shipping, the result further reinforces the attractiveness of the Portuguese flag and the International Shipping Register of Madeira (MAR). It combines the benefits of an EU legal framework with international recognition and a well-reputed, competitive, service-oriented ship registry.
The latest ranking represents recognition of the work accomplished and reinforces the commitment to continue working closely with clients and partners to uphold the highest standards in the maritime industry.
