The Commission has reinforced its growing role in protecting Ghana's critical infrastructure by participating in the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA) Second Quarter International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Security Drill Exercise at the Tema Port.

The quarterly exercise brought together key security and regulatory institutions to test emergency preparedness, surveillance systems and coordinated responses to simulated security threats within Ghana's premier maritime gateway.

Representing NACSA was a four-member delegation led by Mr. Stephen Adjei, Head of Tema Office, who joined counterparts from other security agencies in assessing operational readiness under internationally recognised ISPS security standards.

For NACSA, participation in the exercise reflects the Commission's decentralised contribution to national security. As illicit firearms and other prohibited items increasingly exploit maritime routes, collaboration with port security stakeholders is essential to strengthening Ghana's capacity to detect, prevent and disrupt transnational trafficking networks.

NACSA commends the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority for fostering a coordinated security environment through regular ISPS exercises and reaffirms its commitment to supporting national efforts to secure Ghana's ports against illicit arms trafficking and other transnational security threats.
