Chairman Receives USCG Lieutenant Commander at Red Sea World

Chairman received  Lieutenant Commander Jennifer Lane of the United States Coast Guard (USCG), at Djibouti International Exhibition Center Red Sea World,  for an introductory briefing, prior to a visit to the infrastructures of Djibouti Ports and Free Zones Authority scheduled to continue until 5th of February.

During the meeting, LCDR Jennifer Lane congratulated Chairman on the improvements in safety and security within our ports, which establish Djibouti as an example for the region.

DPFZA was the first authority to allow crew changes during COVID-19 and remains committed to the rescue and safety of seafarers at sea during the Red Sea crisis, in full adherence to the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS 1974). With seaborne trade accounting for 80% of global commerce, it is clear: no seafarers, no maritime trade.

During their mission, the USCG delegation will visit the Port of Tadjourah, the Damerjog Oil Terminal, and the Horizon Terminal (HDTL).

Chairman wished fruitfuil collaborations between the USCG and DPFZA’s team during their mission in Djibouti.
