US Coast Guard conducts port security capacity building programme for SLPA officials
The US Coast Guard conducted a port security capacity building programme from February 11-13 to strengthen the port's security capabilities.
Accordingly, 25 Sri Lankan port officials took part in several drills aimed at improving agency coordination and the implementation of the port's security plan.
“Sri Lanka has demonstrated a strong commitment to port security,” said Lieutenant Matt Arnold, the USCG’s liaison to Sri Lanka for Port Security initiatives who headed the program. “This capacity building program helped create the security environment that’s essential to increased trade and realizing Sri Lanka’s goal of becoming a regional hub for commerce.”
The U.S. Coast Guard's International Port Security Program was established in 2003 to expand understanding of maritime security measures.
