New Vice President for Liberian Registry

APPOINTMENT: Liberian Registry

LIBERIA: Commander Norm Witt, a retired member of the US Coast Guard, has been appointed as Vice President, Port State Control Affairs of the Liberian Ship Registry.

He will be responsible for coordinating and building professional relationships with various Port State Control entities including the United States Coast Guard to better support the Registry’s clients. He will also assist ship owners and operators through inspections or other obstacles they may face.   

 “I’m excited to be in a position where I can leverage my previous Coast Guard experience in helping clients achieve high levels of regulatory compliance, which in turn minimizes shipping delays and enhances overall safety. Improving our safety performance on a continuous basis is a priority for everyone,” he said.

Witt brings a wealth of experience to the Liberian Registry, highlighted by over 23 years of service with the US Coast Guard. Notably, he served as the Commanding Officer of the Coast Guard Marine Safety Unit in Savannah, Georgia, where he held the position of Captain of the Port.

During his tenure, Witt led the response to the capsizing of M/V GOLDEN RAY, coordinating an operation that involved 500 personnel and 70 vessels.

Alfonso Castillero, CEO of the Liberian International Ship & Corporate Registry, states, “In addition to his knowledge on PSC matters, Norm brings valuable international relations experience to the Registry as he had tours in Liberia and Fiji Islands as a USCG officer, as well as commercial experience in the Offshore Wind industry. We are excited to have him join the team, and his knowledge will be an asset in our growth and operations.”
