Neto Zarzar Lighe, Sr., said the Authority is committed to creating a regulatory environment that will allow the maritime sector to grow in a responsible and sustainable manner.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAs we expand Liberia\u2019s maritime sector and open the door to new investments and employment opportunities, we must also ensure that this growth is properly regulated. Our responsibility is to put the necessary legal safeguards in place today so that the opportunities we create do not become environmental or economic challenges tomorrow. Sustainable maritime development must be guided by strong laws, clear standards and responsible practices.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Director of Legal Services at LiMA, Atty. Augustus S. Karr, said the special committee was established under the direction of the Commissioner and CEO to develop comprehensive regulatory frameworks capable of addressing potential risks associated with emerging maritime activities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to Atty. Karr, the committee\u2019s work is intended to establish clear legal requirements and safeguards for operators while protecting Liberia\u2019s marine ecosystems from activities that could have adverse environmental consequences.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He noted that the development of the instruments is particularly important as Liberia explores opportunities to expand activities across the maritime domain.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Atty. Karr said the process will not end with the drafting of the proposed regulations, emphasizing that stakeholder participation will be an important component of the exercise.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He disclosed that following the completion of the draft legal instruments, LiMA will convene a consultative workshop involving relevant stakeholders to review the proposed regulations, solicit technical input and ensure broader ownership of the frameworks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The outcome of the stakeholder consultations will subsequently inform further review of the draft instruments by the Commissioner and heads of relevant institutions before they are submitted to the LiMA Board of Directors for consideration and approval.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The initiative forms part of LiMA\u2019s broader efforts to strengthen Liberia\u2019s maritime governance architecture and ensure that the country\u2019s maritime resources are developed in a manner that supports economic growth, environmental protection, investment and sustainable employment opportunities for Liberians.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Source : LiMA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Liberia positions its maritime sector for greater investment, industrial<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":22628,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[40,1930,442],"tags":[1493,2687,1929,2537,31,32,1485,1297,1388,45],"class_list":["post-22627","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","category-liberia","category-news","tag-africa-en","tag-daily-news","tag-liberia","tag-liberia-maritime-authority-lima","tag-maritimafrica","tag-maritime","tag-maritime-in-africa","tag-maritime-industry-en","tag-news","tag-shipping-en"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Liberia - LiMA Moves to Establish Legal Safeguards for Maritime Sector Expansion - Maritimafrica<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/liberia-lima-moves-to-establish-legal-safeguards-for-maritime-sector-expansion\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Liberia - LiMA Moves to Establish Legal Safeguards for Maritime Sector Expansion - Maritimafrica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"As Liberia positions its maritime sector for greater investment, industrial\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/liberia-lima-moves-to-establish-legal-safeguards-for-maritime-sector-expansion\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Maritimafrica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/maritimafrica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-10-07T20:58:06+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-10-12T21:02:39+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/maritimafrica.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/838939872_1580735547430294_1065241248586920334_n.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"admin\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"admin\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/maritimafrica.com\\\/en\\\/liberia-lima-moves-to-establish-legal-safeguards-for-maritime-sector-expansion\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/maritimafrica.com\\\/en\\\/liberia-lima-moves-to-establish-legal-safeguards-for-maritime-sector-expansion\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"admin\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/maritimafrica.com\\\/en\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/8fb393d26362e592a3b75669654ebb24\"},\"headline\":\"Liberia &#8211;
