A collaborative maritime administration platform is underway in Africa and the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) says that discussions to that effect has commenced.
Dr. Dakuku Peterside, the director general of NIMASA, had stressed that regional collaboration is key to developing Africa’s maritime sector.
Consequently he hinted that Nigeria, South Africa, Ghana and Kenya are getting set for collaborations in several areas of maritime administration.
He stated: “We cannot walk this journey alone; partnership is crucial to achieving a robust economy. The beauty of partnership is that everyone brings their expertise to the table where ideas are shared and considered as a way forward to achieving a particular goal; it is not only here in Nigeria, it has become a global trend and this is what AAMA seeks to achieve for the continent.”
He noted that the Agency is in discussions with the Maritime Administrations of South Africa, Ghana and Kenya to acquire and jointly operate a training vessel for Cadets.
The partnership agreement will be beneficial to the countries involved, adding that the AAMA conference would be an avenue to continue discussions in the proposed agreement.
