IMO is leading a technical advisory mission to Accra, Ghana (15-19 February) to assess the functioning of the maritime administration and assist in the review of its maritime legislation. The aim is to assist Ghana’s maritime safety administration and to look at ways to increase the effectiveness of flag, port and coastal State functions. The mission will culminate in a national seminar involving maritime stakeholders in Ghana to discuss the findings. IMO’s William Azuh is coordinating the mission, which is being carried out under the auspices of the IMO- IMO/EU/ACP (African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States) project to support flag and port states in west and central Africa (Flag-Port WACAF).
