The Ministry of Transport has announced its new Seychelles Maritime Safety Authority (SMSA) Appeals Board.
Members of the board were appointed by the Minister for Transport, Antony Derjacques, in relation to their qualifications and experience in the maritime sector.
Once completed, the project to rehabilitate and extend Port Victoria, which is expected to start in June 2022, will help bring down the cost of living among other socio-economic gains.
In line with its mandate as the natural advisors, strategists, and policymakers on transportation for the government of Seychelles and its aim to review and analyse the policies of the entire transport system, the Ministry of Transport yesterday received two diplomats at its main office at the Botanical House for in-depth discussions on joint cooperation in the area.
The Minister for Transport has overall responsibility for the departments, as well as its arm’s length bodies (ALBs), which have established governance structures.
