The 3rd International Maritime Defence Exhibition and Conference (IMDEC), sponsored by Ghana Navy, has been launched at the new dedicated exhibition hall at Burma Camp by His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo-Addo, President of the Republic and Commander in Chief of Ghana Armed Forces. 

The specially constructed space, located inside the Ghana Armed Forces Headquarters in Accra, Ghana, was inaugurated on Tuesday, August 29, 2023.  The new exhibition hall has been created to accommodate the event’s expanding scope.

” If properly utilised, the blue economy offers solutions to many of Africa’s economic problems. Since rapid digital transformation and developments in onboard technologies demand that African navies put safeguards in place for their systems and operations, we must guarantee that our maritime area is safe and secure for commerce and shipping if we are to realise its potential.

Modern innovations that support naval operations, security, and territory surveillance were presented during yesterday’s IMDEC innovation sessions. Over the course of the two-day conference, professionals from a variety of industries present their perspectives and case studies on the effective use of marine technology.

Arik Rubinchik from Israel Shipyards spoke about the infrastructures for repairing and maintaining commercial and oil and gas ships, while Umut Erdem Klnç from ASELSAN addressed integrated combat system solutions. The discussion was enhanced by a combined Q&A session with the presenters.

In discussions like “Governing and Resourcing the Maritime Sector to Optimise the Benefits of the Blue Economy: The Case of the Nigerian Deep Blue Project,” industry experts will delve into maximising the benefits of the blue economy as the event goes on today. Panelists, including Dr Bashir Jamoh from NIMASA and Capt. Sunday Umoren from Abuja MoU is slated to stress the significance of governance and resourcing in achieving the blue economy’s promise.
