NIMASA Assures Stakeholders of Safety Standards in Maritime Industry

The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) has assured stakeholders in the maritime industry of its commitment to maintaining high safety standards in the sector. The agency made this pledge during a recent stakeholders' forum, where it emphasized its dedication to ensuring the safety of lives and property at sea.

NIMASA's Director-General, Dr. Bashir Jamoh, stated that the agency is working tirelessly to implement various safety measures and regulations to prevent accidents and ensure the smooth operation of maritime activities in Nigeria. He noted that the agency is also collaborating with other stakeholders, including the Nigerian Navy, the Nigerian Ports Authority, and the International Maritime Organization (IMO), to enhance safety standards in the industry.

The agency's commitment to safety is reflected in its implementation of various initiatives, including the development of a National Maritime Safety Policy, the establishment of a Maritime Safety and Security Committee, and the conduct of regular safety inspections and audits of vessels and facilities.

NIMASA's efforts to promote safety in the maritime industry have been recognized by international organizations, including the IMO, which has commended the agency for its commitment to safety and its efforts to implement international safety standards in Nigeria.

Overall, NIMASA's assurance of safety standards in the maritime industry is a welcome development that is likely to boost confidence among stakeholders and promote the growth and development of the sector.
