NavPoint holds active authorization under Panama and Vietnam Register — enabling us to process vessel registration, crew certification and LRIT services through official flag state channels. One agent for multiple flags.
As an authorized agent, NavPoint submits directly to the flag state authority — faster processing, no intermediary, and verifiable authorization status.
One authorized agent handles crew COC/endorsements, vessel LRIT registration and ISM certification under the same flag — eliminating coordination overhead.
Certificates issued through NavPoint are verifiable in the flag state's official database — not third-party copies that may be challenged at PSC inspection.
