De La Rosa & Segura
International Fishing Licenses in Panama
We have extensive experience in vessel registration for the obtention of international fishing licenses and related procedures before Panama's Aquatic Resources Authority. We coordinate with national authorities and Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs) and provide advisory on fisheries compliance.
The international fishing sector operates under a complex regulatory framework involving both national authorities and regional management bodies. At De La Rosa & Segura, we assist shipowners, fishing operators, and companies in all procedures required to operate legally under the Panamanian flag.
Our experience covers the initial license application before the Panama Maritime Authority (AMP) and the Aquatic Resources Authority of Panama (ARAP), through to representation before international bodies such as IATTC or other RFMOs depending on the fishing area.
We also advise on compliance matters: onboard documentation, catch reporting, flag certificates, and traceability requirements for international markets.
