MONROVIA –The National Port Authority (NPA) is participating in a high level continental workshop in Abidjan this week, joining port authorities and maritime stakeholders from across Africa in what is being described as a pivotal step toward transforming the continent’s port sector through reliable data systems. The African Ports Connectivity Portal Project, launched by the African Development Bank in September 2025, was conceived in response to longstanding challenges facing the continent’s maritime sector. Delegates are also addressing governance structures that will guide how port data is collected, shared, and safeguarded. As the workshop continues, the NPA is expected to contribute to shaping the standards that will define how African ports are evaluated for years to come. Authorities say the engagement underscores Liberia’s commitment to strengthening its maritime sector through transparency, data driven planning, and international collaboration.
