Panama Maritime Authority is pleased to welcome you to the electronic application System

In an effort to improve the maritime security of ship operations, amendments were made to SOLAS 1974 (Chapter XI-2 / ISPS Code) which require specific information to be maintained onboard ship and continuously updated as the information is changed.

For this matter, the Merchant Marine Circular (MMC) 359 provides the PMA national requirement for Companies, Masters and Operators with respect to maintaining the required International Ship Security Certificate (ISSC) on board the Panamanian flagged vessels and will be subject to review by Port State Control (PSC) Authorities.

For validate the authenticity of the ISSC issued by this Administration you must use the Verification System or Certificates Query through http://certificates.amp.gob.pa/certificates

Important information to be considered prior the submission of the related application:

• Make sure that you already have the documents required in our Merchant Marine Circular No.359, specified in the Annex 1, before to send your request.

• You may apply for multiple certificates for multiple vessels with a single order provided that they will use the same form of payment and same delivery address. If you require separate payments and/or separate delivery addresses, then separate orders should be placed.

NOTE: If after one month of not having completed the pending documentation, the system will automatically delete the application and must re-apply again.
