This is always reflected at Posidonia and PISR has welcomed the opportunity to meet and greet ship owners, managers and opera- tors at the expo: this will be our third year attending and we have some great news in the form of a new location and digital services. As we continue our carefully planned European reach, PISR has opened a new office in London, one of the world\u2019s leading maritime industry centres. This expansion is a strong statement about the current growth of the registry.<br \/>\nAt Posidonia this is a good time to be reaching out to shipowners who are looking for services that are in tune with their needs, which are accessible and delivered with speed.<br \/>\nThe shipping industry is moving quickly to adapt and so are we:\u2028our growth is down to innovation and confidence, the things that shipowners look for and in 2022 PISR is continuing its development of digital services. There is no substitute for dependable and reliable technology allied to the right people with knowledge and experience: PISR has both in abundance and they are already proving invaluable to shipowners.<br \/>\nOur Deficiency Prevention System is renowned and an invaluable tool for shipowners and operators and our forthcoming upgrades and new services will create an even wider range of online tools to support them.<br \/>\nWe talk to ship owners daily and the thing they always refer to is time and how delays can affect their business both operationally and financially. We have an established, tried and tested digital range of services and we use these to keep our fleet sailing and our ship owners happy.<br \/>\nThe focus on digital services was the way we perceived the industry was heading and we started from the beginning to provide our fleet with real-time online services to keep them moving. PISR offers unique and verified tools through our SMART services. Shipowners are not looking for innovation without credibility: they are looking for services that work; that are tried and trusted; that keep their ships operational and free from costly delays due to deficiencies. It is one<br \/>\nof the main reasons they talk to PISR and we have retained the same-day delivery of services we are known for.<br \/>\nOur shipowners need and demand much more from PISR and we are delivering that for them: the proof is in our recent elevation to the Paris and Tokyo MoU Grey Lists. The next decade will see an increase in online registrations and associated services. But we will always retain the \u2018human element\u2019 at PISR because we understand there is always a need to talk to a \u2018real person\u2019 when there are questions or issues to be resolved. What works for PISR is a combination of human and technological service. Shipping has always been a \u2018people business\u2019 and we do not see that changing any- time soon. We recognise that as a SMART Registry we offer ship owners significant benefits in costs and delivery of services. PISR\u2019s e-registration services remove the reliance on and the fallibility of paper certificates. This is the world of instant communication and information on demand.<br \/>\nSome of the questions we will doubtless be asked in Posidonia, will be, \u201cWhy should a shipowner register their vessel with PISR?\u201d and \u201cWhy seafarers should be looking for licencing with PISR?\u201d These are questions that we can answer with knowledge, experience and the enthusiasm our staff are known for. What we believe marks PISR out as a truly global registry is our services, our experience and our innovation. We are far more than just an online service; despite the fact we are a world leader in this regard. Shipping is a global operation and we have the largest support service avail- able, with our 44 Deputy Registrars in 25 countries, extending our services to shipowners across the globe, regardless of vessel size or location.<br \/>\nWe talk to shipowners and operators daily. Communication is a core focus for PISR: this is why we have developed so quickly because of being responsive and able to deliver with digital services. We see ourselves as a different from other registries and it\u2019s not simply down to size. We have learned over the years that shipowners want a flag of confidence.<br \/>\nThey are looking to be supported, to have communications to hand and have their services delivered cost effectively and speedily. In our view, they are talking about our services and our reputation.<br \/>\n* Honorary Consul General of the Republic of Palau to Greece &amp; Chief Executive Officer at Palau International Ship Registry<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Even though the start of 2022 has brought uncertainty to the global economy, maritime shipping remains one of the most important elements in driving global trade.
