150 million gross tons landmark


The Liberian Registry has passed the historic milestone of 150 million gross tons, confirming its position as the second-largest ship registry in the world, behind only Panama, in terms of numbers of ships and gross tonnage. Following registration of the 43,301 gt bulk carrier SBI Jive, owned by the Scorpio Group, the Liberian-flag fleet currently numbers 4,167 vessels aggregating 150 million gross tons. This milestone was recognised at the Connecticut Maritime Association’s annual Shipping Conference where Cameron Mackey, chief operating officer of the Scorpio Group, accepted a ceremonial Certificate of Registry from Liberian Registry CEO, Scott Bergeron.
