2. Dear Delegate
International and domestic terrorism poses an imminent threat to the ports
and harbours on the African region. The geographical location and
environment of these economic hubs oftentimes leaves them vulnerable to
different forms of security breaches. In an effort to counter any security
infringements, many ports on the continent have seen a thrust in infrastructure
development investments incompliance with the International Ship and Port
Facility Security Code (ISPS Code).
The volume of business transactions and trade that flow through Africa’s ports
has seen a dramatic growth in recent years. This saw a heightened threat from
piracy with incidents rising on the African coastline. Although recent statistics
show a decline in piracy, internal challenges such trespassing continue to
plague ports and harbours. The inaugural Pan-African Ports & Harbours
Security Summit is the meeting ground for tackling current and imminent
challenges to securing these points of entry.
Through sub-regional presentations covering aspects such perimeter security,
contextualisation of port security and creating a balance between compliance
international and local legislations and regulations, the Pan-African Ports &
Harbours Security Summit puts security into perspective. This is a platform to
discuss innovations in port surveillance and investigations. Discussions will also
centre on safety protocol and the integral role that port facility security plays in
defining the perceptions international shipping companies have concerning
their ports.
Raise the bar by benchmarking with regional innovative ports leading the way
in facilitating security.

Chipo Chibaya
