\/>\n\u200e<br \/>\n\u200eThe Government of Kenya has officially launched the National Marine Spills Response Contingency Plan, a comprehensive framework designed to enhance the country\u2019s readiness and capability to respond effectively to oil and hydrocarbon pollution in Kenyan waters.<br \/>\n\u200e<br \/>\n\u200eRepresenting the Cabinet Secretary for Mining, Blue Economy &amp; Maritime Affairs during the launch, the Principal Secretary State Department for Shipping and Maritime Affairs Aden Millah described the initiative as a \u201cmajor milestone in safeguarding our marine environment and securing the sustainability of the Blue Economy.\u201d<br \/>\n\u200e<br \/>\n\u200eThe Principal Secretary State Department for Shipping and Maritime Affairs noted that Kenya\u2019s growing seaborne trade and major developments including the expansion of the Port of Mombasa, growth of Lamu and Kisumu ports, and the relocation of the Kipevu Oil Terminal, have increased maritime traffic and heightened the risk of oil spills.<br \/>\n\u200e<br \/>\n\u200ePS Millah emphasized that the new plan ensures Kenya remains compliant with the International Convention on Oil Pollution Preparedness, Response and Cooperation (1990).<br \/>\n\u200e<br \/>\n\u200eUnder the Plan, the Kenya Maritime Authority (KMA) serves as the Competent Oil Spill Authority, mandated to coordinate national response efforts, outline roles of various actors, and guide the use of techniques and resources during pollution emergencies.<br \/>\n\u200e<br \/>\n\u200eThe PS highlighted the importance of strong partnerships, stating that oil spill management requires collaboration across government agencies and the private sector.<br \/>\n\u200e<br \/>\n\u200eHe further commended the development of the Marine Spills Preparedness and Response Coordination Charter, which formalizes cooperation among key stakeholders.<br \/>\n\u200e<br \/>\n\u200ePS Millah also acknowledged the recent MASEPOLREX 25 Regional Field Exercise, hosted by KMA, which tested regional readiness to handle large-scale pollution events.<br \/>\n\u200e<br \/>\n\u200eHe emphasized that preparedness must remain an ongoing effort supported through training, joint drills, and coordinated planning.<br \/>\n\u200e<br \/>\n\u200eThe Principal Secretary expressed deep appreciation to Kenya\u2019s partners towards the preparation of the plan; including the World Bank, Kenya Ports Authority, Kenya Navy, Oil Spill Mutual Aid Group, and the Kingdom of Norway for their role in advancing Kenya\u2019s marine pollution response capacity.<br \/>\n\u200e<br \/>\n\u200e\u201cLet us continue working together to protect our marine environment and secure the long-term sustainability of our maritime sector,\u201d
