| Assessing security needs in Nigeria |
The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) is hosting a team of IMO maritime security specialists for a needs assessment mission (25-29 January) focusing on physical security and the implementation of IMO maritime security measures (SOLAS chapter XI-2 and the ISPS Code). The week includes meetings with the main players involved in the enforcement of maritime security and visits to various port facilities, including ENL Terminal, APM Terminal and Folawiyo Energy Terminal. The mission will help establish how IMO and other partner agencies can provide targeted assistance to Nigeria in the future. The mission follows a national table top exercise conducted by IMO in Lagos in May 2014.
