On the current challenges in the sphere of ship agency services in Georgia

Abstract

The National Association of Ship Agents is generally a non-profit organization whose purpose is to protect the common and professional interests of its members; including promoting fair competition, regulating the industry and enhancing the professionalism of all parties involved through the adoption of international practices and norms.

This article, based on the analysis of international practice and experience, identifies the problems faced by maritime authorities operating in Georgia due to the absence of a national union, as well as the positive aspects that the formation of such a union would bring.

The main purpose of the work is to adapt international knowledge and experience in the field of ship agency services to the Georgian reality and to identify ways to solve problems in this field through the establishment of a national association.

The study used abstract-logical thinking, methods of analysis and synthesis.
