*NIMASA Pledges Full Compliance with Global Standards<\/p>\n
The United States Coast Guard (USCG) has lauded Nigeria\u2019s sustained efforts to upgrade its port security architecture in line with international standards. <\/p>\n
A USCG delegation, led by Bryan Ullmer, Chief of International Port Security Operations, conducted a five-day assessment of key Lagos port facilities, including Rano, PTML, Five Star Logistics Terminal, Standard Flour Mill, and NNPC Jetty. The mission focused on evaluating compliance with the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code. <\/p>\n
During a visit to the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) headquarters, Ullmer commended Nigeria\u2019s progress, noting that the longstanding partnership between both countries has delivered tangible improvements. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe have maintained a longstanding partnership with Nigeria dating back to the PICOMSS era, and what we are seeing today reflects measurable progress in port security compliance. While there is still work to be done, the improvements across the facilities visited are significant, and we remain committed to deepening collaboration with NIMASA to achieve full alignment with international maritime security standards,\u201d Ullmer stated. <\/p>\n
NIMASA\u2019s Director General, Dr. Dayo Mobereola, reaffirmed the agency\u2019s commitment to sustaining momentum and closing identified gaps. <\/p>\n
\u201cNIMASA remains fully committed to working closely with the United States Coast Guard to strengthen Nigeria\u2019s port security architecture. We recognize that while notable progress has been made, more effort is required, and we will continue to engage proactively to ensure the complete removal of the Condition of Entry on Nigerian-bound vessels,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n
Mobereola emphasized that under the supervision of the Federal Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy, NIMASA is intensifying compliance efforts across all port facilities. He noted that achieving full compliance will not only enhance Nigeria\u2019s global maritime reputation but also unlock greater trade and investment opportunities. <\/p>\n
This collaboration between NIMASA and the USCG forms part of Nigeria\u2019s broader strategy to align its maritime security framework with international standards, strengthening the country\u2019s competitiveness in global shipping and port operations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
