Yemen expands port security capacity with IMO assistance

A national training focused on enhancing port facility security was completed in Aden, Yemen, earlier this month as part of the EU-funded Regional Programme for Maritime Security in the Red Sea Area (Red Sea Project).
The training, led by the International Maritime Organisation (IMO), takes aim at ongoing threats to maritime security in the region, such as terrorism, piracy and transnational crime. Since November 2023, the Red Sea area has also become a danger zone due to attacks on international shipping linked to wider geopolitical tensions.
The workshop took place under the framework of the Red Sea Project, which is funded by the European Union, and delivered through coordinated actions by the IMO, the International Criminal Police Organization (INTERPOL), the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), in support of the participating countries: Djibouti, Ethiopia, Somalia, Sudan, and Yemen.
