    Kunle Kalejaye 02 September 2015, Sweetcrude, Lagos – The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency, NIMASA, has introduced a new Seafarer’s Medical Certification Documents in compliance with extant requirements of the Maritime Labour Convention, MLC, 2006 and Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping, STCW, 1998 as amended.
    NIMASA-Logo-612x300Presenting the documents to stakeholders in Lagos, the Acting Director General of NIMASA, Mr. Haruna Baba Jauro stated that the current effort at better compliance was one of the key areas in which the agency plays its role of domesticating international maritime laws and conventions that help to keep maritime activities and the marine environment safe.
    The director general, who was represented by the Director, Maritime Safety and Seafarers Standards Department, Engr. Vincent Udoye, stated that the new documents are more secured as they are printed with better security features in collaboration with the Nigerian Security Printing and Minting Company, NSPMC, to ensure that medical certificates of fitness for seafarers in Nigeria are authentic and in line with international standards.
    Accordingly, Jauro assured stakeholders in the sector “that NIMASA as an agency of the Nigerian government will continue to strive to meet the needs of the sector through better administration of safety standards in all facets of maritime operations”.
    In compliance with other international maritime laws to which Nigeria is a party, notably the Safety of Life at Sea, SOLAS ’74, and the Search and Rescue, SAR,) 1978 Conventions, the agency has also implemented measures such as procurement of patrol boats, ambulances and priority operational vehicles in addition to facilitating capacity building of human resources towards the successful implementation of these conventions.
