Narrative:
On taxi in ecp via taxiway P; I noticed the taxiway centerline between taxiway D and the terminal ramp is painted off-center. I taxied in centered on the taxiway itself and I believe following the taxiway centerline would put a main gear dangerously close to the taxiway edge; especially around the corner of the terminal ramp and the taxiway. Also; following the painted taxi line could put the wing engine over the unpaved surface; increasing FOD potential.either repaint the line so it is centered on the taxiway; or put a note on the jeppesen 10-9 page or the company airport page to warn the pilots of the off-center painted taxi line.
