Crimes, including piracy, kidnapping, armed robbery, and oil bunkering are increasing and pose serious threats to the seafarers. According to the International Maritime Bureau, 90% of the world\u2019s maritime piracy crimes take place in the Gulf of Guinea alone.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This increase in maritime illegal activity, has urged the local and regional authorities to work collaboratively on adopting maritime domain awareness and counterpiracy, and illegal activity monitoring and prevention strategies and solutions that can enable them to safeguard security and safety of seafarers, including oil companies and fishing and shipping lines passing or operating on the continent\u2019s waters.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The <strong>Great Minds Group<\/strong>, in partnership with the <strong>Ghana Navy<\/strong> and <strong>Fisheries Commission Ghana<\/strong> and in association with the <strong>Gulf of Guinea Maritime Institute<\/strong>, is organizing the <strong>Secure Waters Africa Digit-Conference<\/strong> on <strong>9-10 September 2020<\/strong>, under the theme: \u201c<strong>Effective solutions to strengthen Africa\u2019s maritime domain awareness and security<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This Digi-Conference, which will bring together senior officials from key African countries\u2019 Navy and Marine Corps, Coast Guards and Law Enforcement Authorities, aims at identifying and discussing innovative strategies and solutions, such as C4ISR, drones, and surveillance systems, that will help African military and law enforcement agencies prevent and counter maritime threats and illegal activities and increase the continent\u2019s territorial and international waters security.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For more information and to register: <a href=\"https:\/\/secure-waters.com\/#overview\">https:\/\/secure-waters.com\/#overview<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With over 30,000 kms of coastline, Africa has several key<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3667,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"status","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":[40,1242,1378,442,1300],"tags":[1383,1371,1241,1372,1373,1384,44,1377,1379,45,1385,1299],"class_list":["post-4289","post","type-post","status-publish","format-status","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog-en","category-ghana-en-2","category-maritime-security","category-news-en","category-webinar-en","tag-armed-robbery","tag-fisheries-commission-ghana-en","tag-ghana-en","tag-ghana-navy-en","tag-great-minds-group-en","tag-kidnapping","tag-maritime-en","tag-maritime-security-en","tag-secure-waters-africa-en","tag-shipping-en","tag-shipping-lines","tag-webinar-en","post_format-post-format-status"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
