INTRODUCTION
The Liberia Maritime Authority (LiMA) is a State Owned Enterprise (SOE) established by an act
of the National Legislature in September of 2010. LiMA replaced the Bureau of Maritime Affairs
as the authority charged with the promotion of Liberia’s maritime interests.
The mandate of LiMA is to ensure safe, secure, environmentally sound, efficient and
sustainable shipping. LiMA is also mandated to promote safe and sustainable use of the
jurisdictional waters of the Republic of Liberia. This is accomplished by adopting the highest
practicable standards of maritime safety and security, and the prevention and control of
pollution from ships, as well as through consideration of the related legal matters and effective
implementation of domestic and international instruments with a view to ensure their universal
and uniformed application.
In line with its objectives, as stated in Sections 4 and 5 of the LiMA Act, the primary areas of
responsibility include:

Participating in the development and implementation of national and international
maritime safety and marine environment protection standards;

Enforcing technical and operational standards for all shipping operations in Liberian
waters and ships flying the Liberian flag worldwide, to promote responsible operations
in terms of seaworthiness, safety and pollution prevention;

Enforcing training standards and competency of seafarers;

Managing the national capability to respond to marine pollution incidents and other
maritime emergencies, and Investigating maritime casualties;

Providing public awareness and education in marine safety and pollution prevention;

Administration of Liberia’s domestic vessel registration system; and

The publication of ship safety and environmental standards.

LEADERSHIP
Liberia remains highly regarded in the various organs of the IMO such as the Council, the
Assembly, the Maritime Safety Committee and the Marine Environment Protection Committee.
In 2011, Liberia was elected to the “Category – C” seat on the IMO’s Council after being off the
Council since 1996. As a result of Liberia’s sustained leadership and direct participation in all
major committee and sub-committee meetings in the preceding two-year period, in 2013,
Liberia was re-elected to the IMO Council (40 Members) for the 2014-2015 biennium. We will
maintain our position through active participation, and strive to play an increasing role in
coordinating African input into these important forums through joint projects with our African
colleagues.

2013 Annual Report
The development agenda of the African
Union (AU) promotes, among other
things, human capital development and
improved standard of living. It is inclusive
and based on a human centered approach
to development. In the maritime domain
of Africa, the wide variety of activities are
interrelated, and all have a potential
impact on the prosperity derivative
through their contributions to social,
economic and political stability, and safety
and security. Notably, therefore, the
approach to regulation and management
of maritime issues and resources cannot
be confined to a few select sectors or
industries.
At the 92nd session of the IMO Maritime Safety Committee in June 2013, the Committee
expressed strong support for the on-going efforts to build capacity in member states in West
and Central Africa. In the same month, senior government officials of the region convened in
Cameroon to adopt the Code of Conduct concerning the prevention of piracy and armed
robbery against ships and illicit maritime activity in West and Central Africa.
As a signatory to the Code, Liberia intends to cooperate to prevent and repress piracy and
armed robbery against ships; transnational organized maritime crimes; maritime terrorism; and
illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing and other illegal activities at sea.

2013 Annual Report
Consistent with our position as a trailblazer in the region, LiMA recommended the
establishment of the National Maritime Security Committee, to ensure full compliance with all
IMO legal instruments, and ensure regional leadership in Maritime Safety and Security. The
successful implementation of the Code of Conduct domestically will stimulate economic
development by providing the coordination necessary to develop sustainable fisheries and
strengthen all sectors in the maritime industry.
Leadership, Innovation and Excellence. These three tenets shall serve as the hallmark of LiMA’s
drive to “Build a leading maritime Nation”.

2013 Annual Report
The Liberia Maritime Authority believes
that by securing predominance in the
global maritime industry and maintaining
its determination to “Building a Maritime
Nation”, training and career development
are two vital tools that are propelling this
growing industry. LiMA also recognizes
that the Liberia Marine Training Institute
(LMTI) is the driving force that could
revolutionize the Authority’s aspiration
from national objective to global reality.
Time and again, LMTI continues to build
on the success story each year. For
instance in 2013, LMTI saw the need to
revisit and update its curriculum and
maintain close communication with LISCR
Training Department in carrying out
academic assessment to ensure that the
institution meets the International
Maritime Organization accreditation
standards.
Hoisting of the Flag
Though the LMTI was reopened on
October 1, 2012 after the civil war which
led to the destruction of lives and
properties. In early 2013, the institution
witnessed a symbolic event that resulted
9|Page
in the hoisting of the National Flag
including the flags of IMO, LiMA and LMTI,
which signifies the institution rebirth from
the ruins of despair to horizon of hope.
President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, who
commissioned and hoisted the flags,
praised the management of the
institution for their courage and
dedication and promised Government
fullest support in all ways to strengthen
the capacity of the institution.
Academic
In spite of the enormous challenges faced
by LMTI during the academic year,
academic excellence was still achieved.
Fifty six (56) cadets completed the IMO
Mandatory Basic Safety Courses (3 cadets
were certificated from SMIT Liberia Ltd).
In May 2013, fifty two (52) cadets of the
GPR Program were extended graduate
internship and were reinsured for an
additional 3 months. Of the fifty two (52)
cadets, 10 cadets are at Arcelor Mittal
Facility, 9 cadets at APM Terminals, 7 at
LPRC, 2 at OBT Shipping, 1 at Delmas; 2 at
UMARCO, 10 at NPA and 11 at various
LiMA Stations.
2013 Annual Report
In addition, sixty (60) cadets of the second batch of the General Purpose Rating (GPR) Program
were also enrolled and in November, one hundred and twenty four (124) individuals
participated in a Rig Crew Refresher Training and were certified by Menergy International
Liberia Ltd. At the moment, sixty one (61) International Seamen Books have been received and
are being distributed.
Learning Center
LMTI Learning Center has been recently equipped and furnished with new books and furniture,
pending expansion to include more seating facilities. Currently, the present library volume in
terms of seating capacity stands at 200.

programs is significantly promoting the
values of the entity within the society and
among stakeholders, by addressing social
developmental needs. LiMA has been
involved in a number of social initiatives
targeting the deserving and most
vulnerable population. The Authority is
donating to Education, Social Services
Welfare and Community Volunteering, the
three established pillars for granting
assistance to the needy. LiMA reminds us
that social problems also exist and an
innovative approach will find solutions to
some of them. Our performance effect in
the society is clearly reflected in the
outcomes achieved through education,
social services welfare, and community
volunteering.
EDUCATION
LiMA sustained its sponsorship to several
scholarship recipients for both high school
and university students, sponsoring 194
Liberian youths. This includes the nine (9)
major universities in the country. The
12 | P a g e
Authority continues its sponsorship for
seven (7) students at the Regional Maritime

2013 Annual Report
MARITIME SAFETY AND VESSELS
REGISTRATION
It is generally said that to improve
navigational safety at sea is done by
developing international regulations that
are buttressed by domestic laws. The
Liberia Maritime Program through its
marine
safety
strategic
approach
acknowledges that this is a main stream
that powers the maritime industry, but has
vividly asserted over and again that these
regulations can only achieve the desired
purpose if institutional readiness is
enhanced.
To put into action possibilities that support
this assertion, LiMA has considered
diverting from a centralized safety basedconception to a decentralized safety basedorientation. In 2013, LiMA inaugurated a
new office in Buchanan City in an effort to
enhance its marine safety obligations. As a
result, safety responses and inspections
have been appropriate and in fact this has
added significant values to the domestic
maritime program.
15 | P a g e
In recent years, efforts have been driven
towards the support of the Domestic Vessel
Registration and Safety Division whose
responsibilities are enforcing all national
and international safety regulations and
ensuring that safety standards are met
through a vigorous Port State Control (PSC)
Inspection and overseeing the domestic
vessel registration processes with respect to
vessels
operating
within
Liberia’s
jurisdictional waters.
In order to execute LiMA’s mandate and
yield optimum results, the Division
embarked on a vigorous inspection program
aimed at eradicating substandard ships.
However, this campaign has gained little or
no success due to the lack of marine
store(s), Classification Society/certified
marine surveyors in the country, etc.
Nevertheless, the Division continues to
embark on the implementation of minimum
safety standards as recommended by the
IMO and in accordance with the Domestic
Watercraft Act to ensure that all vessels are
safety compliant.
2013 Annual Report
Barges
Sand Mining
An emerging challenge is the proliferation
of barges and small boats being constructed
by Technofab Engineering Limited within
the premises of the LPRC Port Facility. The
barges pose a severe safety risk as bare
pipelines conveying highly flammable
petroleum products are in close proximity
to the barge construction site. The company
was instructed to halt all operations due to
its inability to acquire class approval and
meet other safety requirements.
Currently, there are a growing number of
river sand mining activities ongoing across
the country. River sand miners are required
to submit permits from the Environment
Protection Agency, Ministry of Lands, Mines
and Energy and a Third Party Liability
Insurance as pre-requisite for registration.
The Authority continues to work robustly to
effectively regulate this industry by
ensuring sand mining dredgers and pumps
are duly inspected and registered in
accordance with the Liberian Maritime Law
and
Regulations.
For the period under review, the Division registered seventy (70) vessels and inspected three
hundred and twenty six (326) vessels.

MONITORING, SURVEILLANCE & RESCUE
Whether it is to support the five member
countries’ vital commercial fishing industry,
maritime transportation and shipping,
tourism, or the users of the country’s
waterways, the Monrovia Regional Maritime
Rescue Coordination Center (MRMRCC) is
always prepare and ready to serve. Its
distinctive appurtenances and effective
coordination with the Liberia National
Coastguard make it strategically positioned
to perform the diverse tasks required to
ensure the safety of lives and property at
sea.
The Center staff work tirelessly under all
conditions, providing a strong national and
regional presence to protect the safety of
our citizens, waters and the natural
resources of the marine environment.
MRMRCC’s 24/7 duty is playing an evolving
role in one of Africa’s longest coastline,
largest freshwater system, and longest
inland waterway, including a total area of
914,805-km2 exclusive economic zone of the
five states, with a search and rescue region
of more than 4 million square kilometers.
It includes but not limited to the maritime
Search and Rescue Sub-regions (SRSs) of
Guinea, Sierra Leone, Cote D’Ivoire and
18 | P a g e
Ghana. With a shoreline of 2,213 km, it
extends from the tip of the coastal boundary
of Guinea with the Cacine District of Guinea
Bissau to the tip of Ghana’s Aflao border
with Togo.
Regional Coordination Efforts
With Liberia playing host to the regional
center, by default, it has the responsibility as
stipulated in Article 8 (f) of the Multilateral
Agreement, to foster cooperation and
proper coordination amongst the Maritime
Rescue Sub Centers (MRSCs) on one hand,
and between the MRMRCC and the MRSCs
on the other.
Whilst there are many challenges faced by
the Center, there have been tremendous
gains made over the period. The following
are some of the achievements:

Compliance of the ‘National SelfAssessment on Search and Rescue’;

Draft Regional SAR Plan sent to IMO
for its expert input;

Completion of the draft proposed
regional website and

Grounding of the building against
lightning.

SECURITY
The Liberia Maritime Program through its
marine strategic security approach has
maintained strong balance in combating
illegal activities that have the proclivity to
compromise our national maritime interest.
This steadiness has been realized through a
robust collaboration with other associates
and agencies in Liberia. Results emanating
from these collaborations are reflective of
the arrest of several illegal vessels that in
the past camouflaged as predators in
shallow waters.
In recent time, the arrest and detention of
M/V Theodora, Maria Z, Nine Star, M/T
Eships Dugon and Pamir for failing to
adhere to national and international
regulations shows a strong indication that this strategy is achieving its objectives. Our
Intelligence team also provided Intel that led to the identification and apprehension of a
number of Stowaways onboard the M/V MSC Grace at the Buchanan Port, and the M/V Ulusoy
9 at the Freeport of Monrovia, etc.
During the period under review, the Department of Maritime Security whose responsibility is to
oversee the collection, processing, analyzing, surveillance and investigating maritime related
incidents and accidents, through its database center tabulated a total of 19 major maritime
related threats and incidents ranking from stowaways to vessel theft as compared to the 29
major incidents reported in 2012. In 2013, there was a 16% reduction in maritime-related
crimes within our maritime domain and areas of interest.

Steady Revenue Growth and Vessel Trend Analysis
The World Bank in December of 2008
predicted that the world trade would decrease
by 2.1 percent in 2009 for the first time since
1982. Because the shipping industry accounts
for about 90% of world trade in terms of the
movement of goods, it was obvious that this
decrease would have great impact on the
industry globally. The shipping crisis deepened
even further during 2013. Relative to the large
global yard capacity of 60 million cgt, the
demand for new ships in 2013 was very low.
Consequently, the number of ships seeking
registration dropped by more than 20% in
2013, which had a profound impact on all
registries. Global ship financing has been hit
hard by the turmoil on the financial markets.
Despite these economic challenges, LiMA
experienced a 22.22% increase in revenue
generation - from US $14,000,000.00 in 2009
to US $18,000,000.00 in 2010. While most
industries experienced a downward trend in
profit, revenues generated from the Liberian
Registry have remained steady for the last
three years. The year 2013 was a continuation
of our financial success as the Authority
generated and contributed US $ 19,193,363.00
to
the
National
Government.
