Isle of Man top-placed in Flag State Performance Table 2011
The Isle of Man once again shared top place in the Shipping Industry's Flag State Performance Table. The table, issue by the International Chamber of Shipping (ICS) and the International Shipping Federation (ISF), use negative indicators to reflect deficiencies in a Flag State's capability or performance over 18 different criteria. The Isle of Man was one of only 12 flags (out of 109) with no negative indicators. This reflects the Isle of Man's commitment to quality and to operating a Ship Registry which is fully resourced to deliver all international requirements.
