Somalia has officially joined the International Mobile Satellite Organization (IMSO), a global body that oversees satellite-based monitoring systems used to track ships and maritime movements across international waters. The move marks a significant step in the Federal Government\u2019s efforts to enhance maritime safety, security, and oversight over its vast coastline.<\/p>\n
The announcement came after Somalia\u2019s Minister of Ports and Marine Transport, Abdulqadir Mohamed Nur (Jaamac), accompanied by Mogadishu Port Director Mohamed Ali Nur (Ameriko), held a key meeting with senior officials from the International Maritime Organization (IMO), including Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez.<\/p>\n
According to sources, Somalia was presented with the requirements needed for accession and subsequently fulfilled and accepted them, paving the way for formal membership in the IMSO framework.<\/p>\n
In a statement shared on his official Facebook page, Minister Abdulqadir confirmed that Somalia had completed the formal procedures and handed over the documents confirming the country\u2019s accession to the international agreement.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is an honor to have met IMO Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez, during which I officially handed over the documents confirming Somalia\u2019s accession to the IMSO Convention. Somalia\u2019s membership strengthens the Federal Government\u2019s efforts toward maritime security and international cooperation,\u201d the minister said.<\/p>\n
He added that discussions with IMO officials focused on key maritime priorities for Somalia and how the new partnership would support the country\u2019s push to modernize institutions working in the maritime sector, strengthen regulatory frameworks, and improve safety across its waters.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe emphasized our commitment to modernizing maritime institutions, reinforcing the laws governing our seas, and safeguarding our extensive coastline,\u201d Minister Abdulqadir noted.<\/p>\n
He concluded by expressing confidence that the collaboration with IMO and the support Somalia will receive through IMSO membership will contribute to sustainable maritime security and promote the development of the country\u2019s blue economy.<\/p>\n
Somalia\u2019s accession aligns with the government\u2019s broader strategy to strengthen security across its maritime, airspace, and land borders, and complements ongoing international agreements aimed at supporting those efforts.<\/p>\n
