Panama Targets Sanctioned Vessels with Registry Cancellations
Panama's maritime authority has begun canceling the registrations of 17 vessels on a U.S. Treasury sanctions list. This move is part of tightened efforts to prevent sanctioned entities from operating under the Panamanian flag. The action follows the recent inclusion of a company and a Panamanian citizen on the sanctions list.
In a decisive move, Panama's maritime authority announced on Monday the initiation of a process to cancel the registrations of 17 vessels flagged by U.S. Treasury sanctions.
This initiative is part of Panama's broader strategic efforts to tighten control measures and prevent sanctioned individuals and entities from operating under its flag, following the recent addition of a company, a Panamanian citizen, and the vessels to the U.S. sanctions list.
The measures reflect Panama's commitment to complying with international sanctions and maintaining the integrity of its shipping registry.
