Haiti: Soon Haitian-flagged vessels

Alix Célestin, the Director General of the National Port Authority (APN), accompanied by the Technical Director, Canégy Nacesse Pierre and of Philippe Olivier, Special Advisor to the Prime Minister, met in Paris the management of "OCRA Worldwide" which handles the registration of merchant ships and pleasure craft, to finalize the procedures allowing the Haitian flag to fly to the masts of merchant ships, super yachts and yachts that ply the world's seas.

The mission of the Primature and of the APN, is part of the policy of openness of the Martelly-Lamothe government , which requires that the presence of Haiti, occurs in all fields of economic activity, in order to send to the whole world, the clear message that "Haiti is open for business."

From a financial standpoint, it will be an important contribution to the economy of Haiti, with the income generated by the registration of these Haitian-flagged vessels.
