During the course of this training and after, let\u2019s kindly ensure there is no safe haven for sub-standard shipping.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In his remarks, Ing. Emmanuel B.A. Lansana, Deputy Executive Director of the Sierra Leone Maritime Administration maintained, \u201c\u2026the five-year agreement between the Abuja MoU and the Lloyd\u2019s Register Foundation aims to strengthen capacity and ensure that global trade continues safely and efficiently, with minimal disruptions. Where challenges arise, the goal is to respond swiftly and effectively to address them.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u2018\u2019As ambassadors in your respective areas of responsibility, he continues, \u2018\u2019I encourage you to share the skills, knowledge, and experience gained from this opportunity with our colleagues. Let us make the most of this opportunity and ensure that the knowledge acquired translates into improved performance and stronger institutional capacity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Representing Sierra Leone\u2019s Ministry of Transport and Aviation, Honorable Rex Bhonapha, Deputy Minister, is quoted as saying, \u2018\u2019\u2026Port State Control inspection reports act as a safety net for the entire shipping world. When a ship\/vessel calls at the shores of Sierra Leone for instance, it is the Port State Control officer who boards her, examines her certificate, structure, equipment, approves and asks questions on behalf of every Sierra Leonean: \u2018is this ship safe to sail from our harbor?&#8217; Port State Control Officers undergoing this training are the ones who will be asking these questions. You are the last line of defense between the sub-standard ship and the sea, and the quality of your training is, in the most literary sense, a matter of life and death, which is why this training is very important.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Source : Sierra Leone Maritime Administration<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today in Freetown, Sierra Leone, the
