The IMO Maritime Security team is in Maputo, Mozambique, to train staff in the country's Ministry of Transport and Communication on the transposition of international IMO instruments related to maritime security into national legislation.
The five-day workshop (12-16 June) is providing support in how to translate measures within SOLAS Chapter XI-2 and the ISPS Code into Mozambique's domestic maritime security legislation. The ISPS Code provides a framework for a standardized mandatory security regime for international shipping, and for the exchange and evaluation of information between Contracting Governments, companies, port facilities, and ships.
This is the first workshop to be held in Mozambique under IMO's Port Security Project which is funded by the European Union.
The workshop is being attended by 26 key stakeholders from agencies including Instituto Ferro-portuário de Moçambique (IFEPOM IP), Instituto de Transporte Maritimo IP (ITRANSMAR IP), Maputo Port Development Company (MPD), Terminal de Óleo Vegetal do Porto da Matola (MANICA), Terminal de Carvão do Porto da Matola (GRINDROD), Terminal de Açücar do Porto de Maputo (STAM), Maputo Liquid Terminal, Terminal de Carga Geral do Porto da Beira (CORNELDER), Terminal de carga geral do Porto de Quelimane (CFM Centro), Terminal de Carga geral do Porto de Nacala (CFM N), Terminal de Carga Carvão do Porto de Nacala-à-Velha (CLN), Terminal da Bollouré, Pemba Bulk Terminal, Delegacao itransmar de Pemba, Delegacao Provincial de Sofala and Delegacao ITRANSMAR Quelimane.
