Kenya maritime security enhancement

Overview

Efforts to enhance maritime security in Kenya have progressed from internal port management to international defense cooperation. Initially, the Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) focused on strengthening the Port of Mombasa by intensifying the implementation of the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code. This included certifying security officers through practical drills to address vulnerabilities and protect maritime trade.

Following these internal measures, security efforts expanded to include bilateral cooperation between the Kenya Navy and the United States Navy. During discussions at the Port of Mombasa, officials from the Kenya Navy and personnel from the USS ROSS met to exchange expertise. These engagements aim to strengthen the Kenya–United States defense partnership and promote maritime stability through information sharing.
