In an interview, Commissioner of the Liberia Maritime Authority (LiMA) Lenn Eugene Nagbe emphasized the commitment of the Liberian government to remain compliant with stipulated U.S. counter-terrorism measures and other international protocols governing maritime security.

Such classification is the security aspect to meet in relation for all global ports not just the United States”.
