By Andrew MwanguraEmail, thecoastnewspaper@gmail.comThe choice of the Bandari Maritime Academy (BMA) to host this year’s Kenya-Operation Southern Readiness (K-OSR 2026) maritime security exercise is far more than a logistical decision. At its heart, K-OSR 2026 responds to the complex realities of our contemporary oceans. By rigourously fostering collaboration, K-OSR 2026 directly contributes to a safer maritime commons—where lawful trade thrives, navigation is secure, and oceanic resources are managed sustainably. K-OSR 2026, as he indicated, provides the vital platform for exchanging best practices and sharpening maritime domain awareness, while also nurturing the indispensable human connections among global maritime professionals. In conclusion, K-OSR 2026 stands as a robust reminder that maritime security is a shared responsibility yielding shared dividends.
