Africa Ferry Safety Workshop • Oct 30

The Africa Ferry Safety Workshop, an invitation only event, will build on the success of the April 2024 Africa Ferry Safety Seminar in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania.

Promoting the highest standards in domestic Ferry Safety has been a key strategic objective of Interferry for many years. Through collaboration with African ferry leaders, we aim to create a comprehensive African Ferry Safety Program that will improve safety standards across the continent and contribute to reducing the high level of incidents in some of its states.

The workshop in Marrakech will be a strategic planning exercise, utilizing roundtable discussions to prioritize initiatives identified through post-Dar es Salaam surveys. Participants will then work together to explore ways Interferry can support the implementation of these initiatives.

The invitation-only event brings together African ferry operators and regulators. With a focus on practical solutions, potential initiatives include fostering best practice sharing through networking events, enhancing crew training and capacity building, and supporting the use of technology to improve safety and operational efficiency.
