\u2026We must prioritise sustainable, responsible maritime practices \u2013 Mobereola<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Nigeria\u2019s Minister of Marine and Blue Economy, Adegboyega Oyetola has called on Maritime stakeholders across Africa to leverage the continent\u2019s renewable energy potential to become a global leader in green shipping.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Minister made the remark at the maiden Africa Strategic Summit on Shipping Decarbonization, held on Monday at the Congress Hall, Transcorp Hilton, Abuja.<\/span><\/p>\n

He stated that, with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) advancing efforts to adopt the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Reduction Strategy, Africa must assert its presence and safeguard its interests. Similarly, Dr. Dayo Mobereola, Director General, Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA), emphasized that Africa must prioritize sustainable and responsible maritime practices in line with international frameworks as the continent develops.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Oyetola said, \u201cWith over 90 per cent of global trade facilitated by maritime transport, reducing GHG emissions from shipping is not just an environmental necessity, but an economic imperative. Africa must ensure that its voice is heard, and its interests safeguarded in shaping policies that impact our economies and livelihoods. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cShipping decarbonization goes beyond just shipping, as it touches various sectors of the economy and livelihoods. Decarbonizing the shipping industry must be pursued in a manner that is just and equitable, ensuring that no African nation is left behind.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAfrica\u2019s maritime sector is uniquely positioned to leverage its strategic geographic advantage, renewable energy potential, and growing Port infrastructure development to become a global leader in green shipping. This requires a concerted effort from all stakeholders to align investments with sustainability and economic growth,\u201d Oyetola said.<\/span><\/p>\n

In his welcome address, Dr. Dayo Mobereola, Director General of NIMASA, explained, \u201cThe shipping industry accounts for approximately 3 percent of global GHG emissions, contributing to climate change. The environmental concerns arising from these emissions have created a sense of urgency, driving the world to focus on shipping decarbonization, and Africa must not be left behind.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Mobereola noted that the focus of the two-day summit is on Africa\u2019s cooperation regarding the IMO\u2019s GHG strategy and the basket of mid-term measures, ensuring a just and equitable transition for the continent and enhancing its technical capacity for climate action. He further stated, \u201cThe decisions we make today will shape the future of our maritime industry and our contribution to global climate goals. This summit provides a unique opportunity to align our regional strategies with international frameworks while addressing Africa\u2019s challenges and opportunities.<\/span><\/p>\n

Key presentations at the summit include \u201cIMO\u2019s Journey So Far in Its GHG Reduction Strategy\u201d by Dr. Harry Conway, Chairman of the IMO\u2019s MEPC and Alternate Permanent Representative of Liberia to the IMO, and \u201cThe Role of Africa\u2019s Maritime Administrations in Shaping Shipping Decarbonization\u201d by Mr. John Oming\u2019o, President of the Association of African Maritime Administrations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Oming\u2019o highlighted the benefits of decarbonization to include reduction of global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius, job creation in renewable energy, ship building, research and development, improved air quality near ports and coastal cities, port modernization for clean and efficient logistics, green fuel production hubs, among others.<\/span><\/p>\n

Goodwill messages focused on the need for collaboration in achieving a green maritime environment in Nigeria and Africa were presented by Chief Geoffrey Nnaji, Minister of Innovation, Science and Technology; Dr. Jumoke Oduwole, Minister of Industry, Trade and Investment; and Vice Admiral Emmanuel Ogalla, Chief of Naval Staff. They commended the Ministry of Marine and Blue Economy and NIMASA for their pivotal roles in Africa\u2019s maritime industry and pledged the Nigerian Navy\u2019s commitment to contributing to the overall goal of decarbonization in the maritime domain, particularly within the Nigerian shipping and maritime environment.<\/span><\/p>\n
