Liberia holds a unique position in the global maritime industry, not only as one of the world’s largest ship registries but also as a vital export corridor for West African minerals. Centered around the Freeport of Monrovia and the specialized iron ore terminal at the Port of Buchanan, Liberia is a critical hub for global shipping lines and the mining sector. Africa Ship Service provides Class-approved, 24/7/365 integrated ship repair and high-spec technical services throughout Liberia.
