Focus on maritime safety

An initiative currently under
way in Mombasa Kenya
has seen Kenyan officials
involved in maritime law
enforcement taking part in
a workshop and scenariobased
simulation exercise
led by the International
Maritime Organisation.
The event is designed
to enhance inter-agency
cooperation in the
country and promote a
comprehensive approach by
government to dealing with
maritime security challenges.
The workshop, organised
with the Kenya Maritime
Authority (KMA), brings
together key stakeholders in
Kenya to discuss practical,
concrete steps to ensure
effective coordination in
combating maritime crimes
– through information
sharing, unified command,
and enhanced maritime
domain awareness.
Additionally, the team
is supporting the KMA
in reviewing standard
operating procedures for
the Mombasa Information
Sharing Centre.
