Post by Ghana Maritime Authority

Your safety on Ghana's inland waterways is our absolute priority. The GMA is proud to launch the Life Jackets for Safety & Livelihoods initiative and commission newly trained Safety Guards. From preventing boat overloading to ensuring mandatory life jacket compliance at all crossing points, the Safety Guards are on a mission to save lives and prevent tragic drowning incidents. The journey of the everyday Ghanaian on our inland waterways matters, and getting them home safely matters more. Join us live at the GMA New Head Office in Ridge on Tuesday, 9 June, 2026, at 9:00 am as we take this giant leap for maritime safety alongside Hon. Joseph Bukari Nikpe (Minister for Transport) and Dr Kamal Deen-Ali (Director General, GMA). Remember, a life jacket only works if you wear it. #GMASavesLives #SafeWaterTravels #MaritimeSecurity #WearYourLifeJacket #CommunityProtection
