GMA and Media General Explore Strategic Partnership to Enhance Maritime Safety and Awareness The Ghana Maritime Authority (GMA) on Wednesday, April 8, 2026, hosted a high-level delegation from Media General, operators of TV3 Network and other leading media platforms in the country. The team, led by Group CEO, Beatrice Agyemang and Deputy Group CEO, Nuamah Famiyeh, engaged in a productive dialogue regarding the critical role of maritime safety and the power of strategic media partnerships. The discussions highlighted the immense reach of Media General’s platforms, including the market dominance of TV3 and the impactful local language influence of Onua TV, as vital tools for national awareness. For the GMA, the visit provided a key opportunity to shed light on the Authority’s multi-faceted mandate. The Director-General, Dr. Kamal-Deen Ali (Naval Capt. Rtd), provided a comprehensive overview of the GMA’s expansive responsibilities, drawing a clear parallel between the Authority’s role in ensuring ship seaworthiness and the functions of the DVLA on our roads. From overseeing maritime labor and the safety of oil platforms to protecting submarine cables, the GMA’s work, Dr Ali said remains foundational to Ghana's economic stability. A significant focus was also placed on the Authority's ongoing efforts in the inland water space, where the GMA is working tirelessly to enhance safety through public awareness and the promotion of life jacket use among users of lake transport. Both the GMA and Media General recognised a major opportunity to collaborate on environmental stewardship, specifically in tackling marine litter and plastic pollution. To formalise this shared vision, Media General has committed to presenting a formal proposal for a partnership designed to bridge the information gap and help the public better understand the immense value the maritime sector adds to the Ghanaian economy. #GMA #MediaGeneral #MaritimeSafety #MarinePollution #EnvironmentalSustainability #StrategicPartnership
