The staff 'GestiÛn MarĖtima del Sudoeste' (Sudoeste Maritime Management) is born with the aim of being the first Advice Agency specialised in maritime affairs, resulting the natural complement to both our School of Navigation and Yacht Hiring Department. The parent company, 'Gabinete MarĖtimo Mercantil S.L.' (Mercantile Maritime Office, Limited), specialised in Maritime Law, felt the necessity of filling the gap regarding the pleasure sailing field. Thus, it powered and gave autonomy to the technical aspects it was originally founded with. Our aim is to provide our customers with a global service regarding the complex and unknown maritime sector in general and pleasure navigation in particular. Due to this reason, a team of professionals will advice you when having any problem related to your ship (documents to present to the Harbour Master's Office, reports and surveys, underwater and docking examination, sanctions, etc.) By means of the legal company 'GMM - Abogados' (GMM - Advocates), we offer our customers every type of legal services comprising every kind of legal advice and defence regarding any national or international request. We guarantee the best possible legal assistance to our customers. Furthermore, we are naval security agents and surveyors for the Panamanian Bureau of Shipping (Republic of Panama) and for the Liberian International Ship & Corporate Registry (Republic of Liberia) regarding the south of the Iberian Peninsula (Portugal and Spain). Both entities manage the Register of Ships in their respective countries.
