At the 3rd Meeting of Ministers responsible for Shipping and Maritime Affairs of the States in the Eastern, Southern and Northern Africa -including the Indian Ocean States -held in Nairobi Kenya the new name of the Organization, the Maritime Organization for Eastern, Southern and Northern Africa (MOESNA) was officially launched. MOESNA embodies a commitment of Member States—linked through the Western Indian Ocean, South Atlantic, and Red Sea—to tackle their complex maritime challenges collaboratively, build synergies across Member States, advance their collective maritime and shipping interests and set the path for the transformation of Africa Maritime Sector. This is aligned with the Revised African Maritime Transport Charter (2010) and the African Integrated Maritime Strategy (AIMS) 2050, both of which encourage regional cooperation and bloc formation to address shared maritime goals.
