A significant meeting has taken place between President Joseph Nyuma Boakai, Managing
Director of the National Port Authority, Hon. Sekou A. M. Dukuly, and APM Terminals Vice President and Regional Managing Director for Africa and Europe, Igor van den Essen. The focus of the discussions was to strengthen long-term partnerships and explore investments in port infrastructure to support the Liberian economy.

During the meeting, Mr. van den Essen highlighted APM Terminals' commitment to fostering ‘local talents’ through workforce development. He underlines the importance of training, upskilling, and empowering the local workforce. A notable emphasis was the training of Liberia’s first Marine Pilot, Sam Jabbah, to handle vessels at the Freeport of Monrovia.

The discussions also centered on plans to increase investments to boost the port's capacity and establish it as the 'logistics hub' for the Mano River Basin. Mr. van den Essen stressed the importance of creating a strategic team comprising members from APM Terminals and the National Port Authority to develop a comprehensive Port Master Plan. This plan would align with the ARREST Agenda of the Government of Liberia and other future development strategies to ensure a coordinated approach to national growth.

Mr. van den Essen also commended Hon. Dukuly for his outstanding leadership and collaborative approach to managing the National Port Authority, stressing his cooperative commitment to fostering a strong partnership between the NPA and APM Terminals.

President Boakai expressed gratitude for the ongoing investments and improvements made by APM Terminals at the port since the beginning of the concession in 2011. However, President Boakai emphasized the importance of ensuring that the concession agreement aligns with the interests of the Liberian people. He also weighed on the need for accountability and integrity in the concession and laid plain the Government’s commitment to reviewing the agreement clauses to address any discrepancies.

President Boakai also underlined the continuous availability of rice, a staple commodity for Liberia, an idea that aligns with APM Terminals’ expansion plan, which includes developing a dedicated pier for discharging rice through further investments.

Mr. van den Essen reaffirmed the company's dedication to transparency and accountability in its operations with the National Port Authority, making clear the need for reviewing the existing concession agreement and focusing on long-term investments and sustainable development.

In conclusion, the Managing Director of APM Terminals Liberia, Mr. Clay Crain, highlighted the port’s capacity and potential for further growth, which could significantly enhance Liberia’s economic prospects.

This meeting marks a crucial step in strengthening the partnership between APM Terminals, the National Port Authority, and the Government of Liberia, paving the way for sustainable development and economic growth.

The National Port Authority (NPA) and its Board of Directors dissents Senate’s decision to grant outstation Ports autonomy status.

Recently, the Senate’s Committee on Public Corporation and Public Works, following an assessment, recommended that various ports including the Ports of Buchanan, Harper and Greenville be given autonomy.

The NPA Board sees the move by the Liberian Senate as premature and has the propensity to undermine the act of creating the National Port Authority of Liberia.

The board argues that the National Port Authority was established by an Act of the National Legislature in 1967 and amended in 1970 as a state-owned corporation to manage, plan, and build all public ports in Liberia.

The NPA Board said the Act creating the NPA gives it the authority to serve as a regulatory body, overseeing the operations of the Freeport of Monrovia, the Ports of Buchanan, Greenville, and Harper.

According to the board, the Senate's move to grant autonomy to outstation Ports categorically undermines and disregards the distinct roles and responsibilities of the National Port Authority to regulate and supervise all the ports.

Meanwhile, the NPA Board of Directors is calling on the Legislature to rescind its decision adding that decentralization can happen without necessarily granting autonomy to outstation Ports.

Restoration of Lighting Infrastructure Marks a Milestone at the Freeport of Monrovia

After a prolonged period of darkness, the National Port Authority, led by Hon. Sekou A.M. Dukuly, has successfully reinstated the lighting infrastructure at the Freeport of Monrovia, marking a significant milestone for the port. The restoration of lights comes after years of operating in suboptimal conditions due to the absence of adequate lighting, which has posed various challenges, including security and safety concerns.

This achievement is a direct result of the steadfast commitment to a comprehensive reform policy implemented by the current management of the Port. The primary objective of this initiative is to revitalize and modernize the port, thereby enhancing its capacity to deliver superior services to its valuable customers.

The recent restoration of lights is just one of the many forthcoming developments aimed at overhauling the operations of the Freeport of Monrovia and aligning them with the targeted reform goals and objectives of the port.

NPA identifies with kinjor violence victims, as the Deputy Managing Director for Operations calls for calm and prayers from the religious community.

The management of the National Port Authority (NPA) has donated assorted food items and cash to victims of a recent violent incident in Kinjor.

On Saturday 30th of March 2024, a delegation of the National Port Authority led by Deputy Managing Director for Operations, Mr. Emmanuel M. Horton and the Chief Imam of the Republic of Liberia Imam Ali Kryee, visited the affected communities to deliver hundred (100) bags of (25 kg) rice and two hundred thousand (200,000) Liberian Dollar to support families of the incident.

Speaking on behalf of the Managing Director, Hon. Sekou A.M. Dukuly, Mr. Horton said the donation was the NPA's way of identifying with the people as part of its Corporate Social responsibility.

"We are not here to judge who is right or wrong. We are here because Liberians are affected and it is our responsibility to always show our support for our country and people in our meager way" Mr. Horton noted.
For his part, Imam Ali Kryee thanked the aggrieved residents for giving peace a chance. He said the religious community was following the situation and will continue to work with the national government to ensure the people's needs are met.

He informed the gathering that he is in touch with the council of churches and collectively they will continue to sustain conversations with the government until the right things are done.

Accepting the donation from the NPA, the Chief Imam of Kingjor, Alhaji Shieck Hashim Golafaley appreciated the delegation for the kind gesture.

He called on all parties to the conflict to exercise restraints and cooperate with the national government in their investigation.
He noted that Liberia can only develop if there is peaceful coexistence among major stakeholders.

Also speaking, the head of the Protesters Morris Kiazolu said although they appreciate the donation made, they are still looking up to the national government for justice as relates to the death of the three people who allegedly lost their lives during the protest.

He noted that for peace to be sustained, the government has to intervene in the ill-treatment of employees at the mining site.
In closing, he thanked the NPA for coming to their aid in their time of dire need.
