GEORGE TOWN, Grand Cayman — The world-class Cayman Islands Shipping Registry (CISR), a division of the Maritime Authority of the Cayman Islands, is relocating its Mediterranean representation to the Principality of Monaco with effect May 1, 2009.
Expansion over the past two years has been significant to the CISR, explains Mr. Walton. "In order to strategically place ourselves for the convenience of our clients," he says, "we opened our first representative Mediterranean office in Cannes and it was very well received. However, in order to expand our services, we decided to move our representation to Monaco, where we have a large client base," he added, "once accommodation and representation services there could be secured."
The promotional launch will also provide an opportunity for the organisation to introduce its new Mediterranean technical representative, Mr. Eduard Henny, Consultant Surveyor, now on board.
On hand for the occasion will be key staff from the CISR’s Cayman Headquarters and from its European Regional Office, located in Southampton, U.K., including the CISR’s new Assistant Registrar of Shipping (U.K.), Ms. Tamara Bostock who is now based in the Cayman Islands Government Representative Office in London.
The region’s top maritime industry professionals, yacht owners and brokers have been invited to attend the 5 May lunch at the Monte Carlo Bay Hotel and Resort, during which round-table discussions with Registry experts will be held.
Monaco, with its wealth of financial services and international high net worth individuals, is a natural fit for the CISR, explains Mr. Walton. "It’s where we always intended to be, but it was very difficult to find the right fit initially, so we went a little further afield, locating in Cannes when we first had the opportunity.
The Cayman Islands Shipping Registry new Monaco Representative Office will be located at: Le Donatello - Rdc, 13 avenue des Papalins, 98000 Monaco (Tel: +377 97 97 14 70; Fax + 377 97 97 14 69).
"This launch and the promotional luncheon will provide an opportunity to showcase the services of our new Mediterranean representation and our global network," explains Mr. Henny.
The Cayman Islands Shipping Registry has representation in nine locations globally: George Town, Grand Cayman Head Office; European Regional Office, Southampton, UK; London; Ft. Lauderdale; Monaco, Athens, Singapore, Hong Kong and Tokyo.
