Maritime professionals from Ghana, Senegal and Sierra Leone pose for a group photo with their maritime law enforcement instructors from the U.S. Navy, U.S. Coast Guard, and their Belgium Navy interpreter Lt. Oliver Vogels (left) following a graduation ceremony aboard the Dutch Africa Partnership Station platform HNLMS Johan de Witt (L 801) in Ghana, Oct. 26. This ceremony concluded three weeks of at-sea training in various maritime safety and security courses given to 46 African maritime professionals from Ghana, Senegal and Sierra Leone aboard the APS platform. Courses included maritime law enforcement, small boat operations, small boat engine repair and maintenance, medical and damage control training. Johan de Witt, a Royal Dutch Naval vessel, is the first European-led APS platform and is augmented by staff from Belgium, Portugal and the United States. APS, originally a U.S. Navy initiative, is now an international effort aimed at improving maritime safety and security for the continent of Africa through training and other collaborative activities with African partner countries.
