The Italian government is working with Somalia to strengthen the capacity of the Navy and Coastal Defense, focusing on training, maritime security, and the development of the Hydrographic Centre.
This center is essential for creating maps of Somali waters, measuring sea depths, and identifying underwater hazards.
Its development will enhance vessel safety, naval operations planning, and the protection of Somalia’s territorial waters.
This cooperation was discussed in a meeting in Mogadishu between the Navy Commander, Senior Colonel Mohamed Abdiqadir Sharif, and a delegation from the Italian government, who also visited the Maritime Operations and Coordination Center (MOC).
