Public notices to enhance maritime safety, security, and compliance
The Kenya Coast Guard Service (KCGS actively issues public notices to enhance maritime safety, security, and compliance. Recently, KCGS released holiday safety guidelines, urging travelers to wear life jackets, monitor weather updates, and avoid overloaded boats during coastal visits. The agency also assured the public of increased beach patrols and encouraged reporting suspicious activities.
Additionally, KCGS has warned against fake recruitment ads circulating online, clarifying that all official vacancies are announced through government channels of the Public Service Commission. Procurement-related notices, such as tenders for safety equipment (e.g., life jackets, narcotics test kits), are published via platforms like UNOPS to ensure transparency.
Collaborations with international partners, like the U.S. Coast Guard and UNODC, are also communicated to highlight capacity-building efforts, such as training programs for maritime law enforcement.
