(Rtd) Alhaji Fanday Turay Esq., described the transformation as a bold and strategic move toward revitalizing the nation\u2019s shipping industry. He highlighted that the shift from company to agency was made possible through the enactment of the Sierra Leone National Shipping Agency Act 2025, signed into law by President Dr. Julius Maada Bio.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThis policy shift portrays a progressive and renewed vision for the growth and competitiveness of our maritime industry,\u201d the Minister said. \u201cIt is the birth of a new institution\u2014one that will operate with greater efficiency, flexibility, and authority.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He noted that the SLNSC, established in 1972, had served a vital role in the transport of the country\u2019s exports\u2014minerals, timber, and agricultural produce\u2014and helped secure essential imports. However, with the evolving global maritime environment, a more dynamic and responsive structure was required.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Minister also disclosed that the new Agency now assumes full control of all assets, liabilities, and functions of the former SLNSC and the Sierra Leone National Carrier. He further announced the ongoing procurement process for a joint venture agreement that will facilitate the transportation of 40% of Sierra Leone\u2019s minerals, inbound and outbound \u2014 a move expected to boost revenue and efficiency.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In his statement, the newly appointed Director General of SLNSA, Mustapha Mark Lissa, expressed deep gratitude to President Bio for the opportunity and confidence reposed in him.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cToday, we are not just changing our name; we are redefining our identity and reaffirming our commitment to the future,\u201d Lissa said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Having served the institution for over 19 years, Mr. Lissa noted that the transition marks a turning point for the organization, one he is proud to lead. He highlighted several reforms he has initiated since assuming office just months ago, including:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify; padding-left: 40px;\">\u2022 Procurement of a 100 KVA generator after five years of intermittent power supply<br \/>\n\u2022 Timely payment of staff salaries<br \/>\n\u2022 Provision of food support for employees<br \/>\n\u2022 Clearing of inherited liabilities<br \/>\n\u2022 Restructuring of management roles<br \/>\n\u2022 Partnership development for upcoming joint venture opportunities<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He also acknowledged ongoing challenges, including overstaffing, poor work attitudes among some employees, lack of operational vehicles, and the need for continuous staff training and improved working conditions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWe are committed to building a more accountable, efficient, and service-oriented institution,\u201d he said, calling on all staff to support the new direction.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/539418192_1087361863574704_4571813686692532840_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-18700\" src=\"https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/539418192_1087361863574704_4571813686692532840_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2048\" height=\"1536\" srcset=\"https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/539418192_1087361863574704_4571813686692532840_n.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/539418192_1087361863574704_4571813686692532840_n-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/539418192_1087361863574704_4571813686692532840_n-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/539418192_1087361863574704_4571813686692532840_n-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/539418192_1087361863574704_4571813686692532840_n-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/539418192_1087361863574704_4571813686692532840_n-720x540.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In his statement the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Noah A.H.

These laws are expected to enhance safety, environmental protection, and regulatory compliance in line with international standards.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The ceremony concluded with a vote of thanks by Mrs. Salamatu B.
