Hong Kong flag to open offices in London, Shanghai and Singapore
The move is aimed at better serving the needs of shipowners, as time differences and geographical distance have sometimes hampered the Hong Kong Shipping Register in providing a prompt response. The desks will provide a suite of services such as ship registration and ship inspections, as well as respond to port state inspection issues and attend to other emergency situations when required
The London desk will also take on the important strategic role of enhancing Hong Kong’s presence in the International Maritime Organization
