Bradford Marina, also located on Grand Bahama, is renowned for its servicing of mega-yachts, leisure and sport-fishing vessels.<\/p>\n<h2>Comparative advantages<\/h2>\n<p>Although small, The Bahamas has been very successful in making a big mark on the world\u2019s economic stage. The Government is firmly behind the country\u2019s growing maritime industry. Indeed maritime affairs are likely to synergize with the tourism and financial services sectors, the original mainstays of the Bahamian economy. This, together with the country\u2019s absence of income tax and corporation tax means that the Bahamas Register sits very comfortably alongside a wide range of other offshore activities.<\/p>\n<h2>More information<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bahamasshipownersassociation.com\" target=\"_blank\">Bahamas Shipowners\u2019 Association<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.bahamasmaritime.com\" target=\"_blank\">The Bahamas Maritime Authority<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gbpa.com\" target=\"_blank\">Grand Bahama Port Authority<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row admin_label=&#8221;Row&#8221; global_module=&#8221;171&#8243; make_fullwidth=&#8221;on&#8221; use_custom_width=&#8221;off&#8221; width_unit=&#8221;on&#8221; use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px|0px|0px|0px&#8221; padding_mobile=&#8221;off&#8221; allow_player_pause=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method=&#8221;off&#8221; make_equal=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_1=&#8221;off&#8221; parallax_method_1=&#8221;off&#8221; column_padding_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; gutter_width=&#8221;0&#8243; locked=&#8221;off&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243;][et_pb_code global_parent=&#8221;171&#8243; admin_label=&#8221;Code&#8221; parent_locked=&#8221;off&#8221;]         [\/et_pb_code][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maritime &#038; logistic services The Bahamas: a true maritime nation The Bahamas has centuries of tradition as a maritime nation.
