Neil Thomson, Nomadic Director, EMEA said: "We are thrilled to expand our service offerings with the addition of Panamanian Seaman's Books. In working with the relevant authorities and embassies, this new service aligns with our mission to support the maritime industry in procuring essential documents that ensure compliance with international regulations."
