A huge congratulations to the city of Genoa, the Italian Coast Guard, and the Italian Navy for hosting a spectacular World Marine Aids to Navigation Day main event! With nearly 80 participants, the event kicked off with an impressive opening aboard the Italian Navy ship Garibaldi, and later the Mayor of Genoa proudly accepted the Lighthouse of the Year award for the iconic “Lanterna”. Day two saw guests boarding the magnificent MSC cruise ship Fantasia for the presentation sessions and finished off the delightful program with a scenic boat trip to Portofino. This unforgettable two-day celebration was a resounding success, cherished by all who attended! 🌟🚢🏆 #WATONDAY #Genoa #Navy #CoastGuard #Lanterna #Portofino

Happy World Marine Aids to Navigation Day! IALA works to harmonise and develop Marine Aids to Navigation worldwide and to ensure that the movements of vessels are safe, expeditious and cost-effective while protecting the environment. This year, this message is even stronger, as IALA is celebrating the achievement of Intergovernmental status, therefore reinforcing its role in the maritime community. Happy #WATONDAY everyone! #Safety #Sustainability

As part of its celebration of the Day of the Seafarer, IALA expresses its commitment to harmonising and improving maritime aids to navigation (AtoN) for the safety of Seafarers, who are the primary users of these aids. Marine AtoN are deployed in accordance with The IALA Maritime Buoyage System, commonly referred to as the IALA MBS, developed to assist all seafarers navigating anywhere in the world to fix their position and avoid dangers without ambiguity, and to assist competent maritime authorities in fulfilling their obligation to provide harmonized AtoN services. #DayoftheSeafarer

Get ready to celebrate the World Marine Aids to Navigation Day on 1st July! We would like to encourage everyone to find a photo of AtoN and to share it on social media on that day with #WATONDAY so we can all raise awareness about how important this is for the safety of navigation and protection of the environment 🌊 🐳 🛰 🛳

The IALA World-Wide Academy and the Danish Maritime Authority are conducting a joint Capacity Building mission with the Albanian Hydrographic Service. After several meetings and audits in Albania, the Commander of the Naval Force Rear Admiral Adnand Agastra and a delegation from his team travelled to Denmark last week and visited some key infrastructures : DMA Headquarters, Great Belt Naval Base and VTS center, Service and Maintenance Centers in Grenaa and Korsør, Fornæs Lighthouse. Further actions will follow and be undertaken to develop the Marine Aids to Navigation in Albania.

May 2024 was a busy month for the IALA World-Wide Academy in Latin America region, with a total of 59 students receiving qualifications in the IALA Risk Management Toolbox, and L1.1 Marine Aids to Navigation Manager.   Early in the month DIRECTEMAR in Valparaiso, Chile hosted 31 students for the IALA Risk Management Toolbox training, delivered in Spanish. In addition to DIRECTEMAR staff, the students included visitors from Brazil, Ecuador, Venezuela, Guatemala, Spain, Argentina and Chile, who learned about navigational risk management and practical application of tools including SIRA, IWRAP, PAWSA, IRMAS and simulation.   At the end of the month, focus turned to Cartagena, Colombia where DIMAR and ENAP collaborated with the Academy to train 12 students in the risk management toolbox and deliver Level 1.1 AtoN Manager Module 3 training and subsequent certification to a further 15 participants. Both courses were delivered in the Spanish language to students from countries including Uruguay, Panama, Venezuela, USA, Spain, Dominican Republic, Mexico and Colombia.    Congratulations to all students and many thanks to the host organisations for their essential efforts in hosting and facilitating this vital training, designed to improve the safety of navigation and the harmonization of AtoN, around the world.   For scheduled WWA courses in the second half of 2024, please see https://lnkd.in/eEGUjR6t   #MaritimeSafety #IALAWWA #CapacityBuilding #safetyofnavigation #IWRAP #riskmanagement #AtoN #procurement
