Victor Ochei during a study visit by members of the Ghana Maritime Authority at the NIMASA headquarters in Lagos.
“Since the advent of the Cabotage Act in Nigeria, about 68 per cent of vessels trading within the country’s maritime space are now Nigerian-flagged. We have also made progress in the area of placement of Nigerian seafarers on board Cabotage vessels, as well as building vessels from the keel, particularly smaller crafts,” he said.
On her part, the Director, Legal/ Board Secretary of Ghana Maritime Authority , Mrs. Patience Diaba, expressed delight at the opportunity to learn from the Nigerian experience in its implementation of the Cabotage law. “We are confident that our time will be rewarding and we will return to Ghana better informed and equipped to implement the Cabotage regime in our nation. We are excited to begin this 10-day study tour.”
