Liberia Maritime boss joins global shipping leaders for Christening of ‘Sea Admiral Monrovia’ in South Korea

Cllr. Neto Zarzar Lighe, Sr., Commissioner and Chief Executive Officer of the Liberia Maritime Authority (LiMA), joined global maritime industry leaders in Busan, South Korea, to witness the naming of Sea Admiral Monrovia — the latest state-of-the-art 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, Commissioner Lighe emphasized the strategic partnership 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,” Cllr. Lighe 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.”

The J. Laliotis Maritime Group — a longstanding powerhouse in Greek shipping — has played a critical role in Liberia’s maritime success story, with vessels sailing under the Liberian flag for decades. The addition of Sea Admiral Monrovia reflects both the company’s forward-thinking investment strategy and the resilience of Liberia’s maritime administration.

Cllr. Lighe praised the company’s focus on acquiring modern tonnage, including both newbuildings and high-performing second-hand vessels.

“This kind of foresight advances not only your commercial competitiveness but also the mission we share — creating a sustainable, safe, and economically impactful maritime industry,” he noted.

Symbolism also resonated in the vessel’s chosen name.

“Admirals lead with vision and courage,” Cllr. Lighe added. “May Sea Admiral Monrovia embody these traits as she sails the seas of global commerce — bringing prosperity and returning her crew home safely.”
