VERIFAVIA and Macosnar of Panama announced that the two companies signed an IMO DCS cooperation agreement in Panama City on 25 September 2018. Under this new strategic agreement, VERIFAVIA will review the SEEMP Part II and verify the fuel oil data consumption of all ships classed by Macosnar.
This strategic cooperation agreement will allow Macosnar to delegate the IMO DCS verification activities to the world's leading independent verifier, ensuring a top-class expert verification service to their classed ships worldwide.
For VERIFAVIA, it is a major break-through into the Panamean shipping sector, just a couple of months after becoming the first independent verifier to be a fully authorized IMO DCS verification body by the Panama Maritime Authority.
