President Dr. George Manneh Weah has expressed deep sadness over the passing of Yoram Cohen, Founder and Chairman of the Liberia Shipping and Corporate Registry (LISCR).

Mr. Cohen died on Saturday, March 4, 2023, after a protracted illness.
He has been a long-time friend of Liberia and contributed immensely to the country’s Maritime Sector.
As the Agent for the Country, Cohen’s leadership saw the phenomenal rise of the Liberian Flag Registry into the World’s best, fastest-growing, and second largest following its decline during the Liberian Civil War.
Mr. Cohen was also a strong believer in the potential of Liberian youth to help shape the Country’s future, and was one of the visionaries of the rejuvenation of the Liberia Maritime Training Institute.
He was also the founder of the Cellcom Telecommunication Corporation, now Orange, which caused the telephony sector to be de-monopolized.
The President also described Mr. Yoram Cohen as true and brother who immensely contributed to his soccer career.
President Weah also urged the bereaved family, as well as friends and co-workers of the late Cohen to take solace in the Lord during this difficult time.
Meanwhile, the Management of the Liberia International Shipping and Corporate Registry, (LISCR) and the Liberia Maritime Training Institute (LMTI) have announced that a  book of condolence will be opened on today, Tuesday, March 7,  2023, at 9:00 am, at the offices of LISCR Trust Company, on the 1st Floor of the Petereva Building at the corners of 10th Street and Tubman Boulevard, Monrovia.
