Cllr. Neto Zarzar Lighe Sr., Commissioner/CEO of the Liberia Maritime Authority (LiMA), joined maritime industry leaders in Busan, South Korea, to commemorate the naming of Sea Admiral Monrovia— the latest tanker commissioned by the Greece-based J. Laliotis Maritime Group.
The ceremony, held at the K Shipbuilding Yard, marked the official christening of the 49,650-deadweight-ton (DWT) vessel, designated Hull No. S1952. The Sea Admiral Monrovia, a versatile crude/product oil and chemical tanker, is the newest addition to the J. Laliotis fleet operating under Liberia’s registry — the world’s largest open ship registry.
Addressing dignitaries and shipping executives at the event, Cllr. Lighe, Sr. highlighted the strategic relationship between the Liberian Registry and one of its most valued clients. “Today is not merely about the christening of a vessel; it symbolizes the enduring strength and continued growth of the partnership between our two institutions,” he said.
“The J. Laliotis Group’s commitment to operating a robust fleet under the Liberian flag is a testament to our shared dedication to global maritime safety, innovation, and environmental sustainability.”
