Telling a long, serpentine but successful story in an abridged form tends to prove challenging, intimidating, if not plainly impossible. This piece, however, attempts to do just that – narrate Liberia’s maritime story in a truncated form – a brief history that covers the evolution of the Liberia Open Registry from 1948 to 2011. (2012 up to 2019 – and the “best way forward” will be tackled in the next edition of the Marine Monitor.)
