NIMASA introduces new medical certification

The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) has introduced new Seafarer’s Medical Certification Documents in compliance with extant requirements of the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC) 2006 and Standards of Training, Certification and Watch keeping (STCW) 1998 as amended.
Presenting the documents to stakeholders in Lagos recently, 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 played its role of domesticating International Maritime Laws and Conventions that help to keep maritime activities and the marine environment safe.
The DG who was represented by the Director, Maritime Safety and Seafarers Standards Department, Mr. Vincent Udoye further stated that the new documents on the certification were more secured as they were printed with better security features in collaboration with the Nigerian Security Printing and Minting Cooperation (NSPMC) to ensure that Medical Certificates of fitness for seafarers in Nigeria are authentic and in line with international standards.
