The meeting held on Friday 21<sup>st <\/sup>April 2023 and hosted by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the GSA, Ms. Benonita Bismarck was attended by a team from the RMU, led by their Acting Vice Chancellor Dr. Jethro W. Brooks Jr.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36055\" src=\"http:\/\/localhost:10003\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/rmu3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Brooks Jr. said that the RMU had developed courses which will focus on Port and Terminal Performance Indicators among other areas, and will be happy to receive input from the GSA. The GSA\u2019s input is expected to help design a course that will address the decline in traffic being experienced at Ghana\u2019s ports which have led to the loss of revenue by the state as well as stakeholders in the shipping and logistics industry.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36054\" src=\"http:\/\/localhost:10003\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/rmu2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Dr. Brooks Jr. added that, among other things, the visit was also to renew collaboration between the two organisations. He encouraged females to avail themselves for enrolment into the university.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of the shipping lines came to us and they only wanted female seafares. They took in sixteen (16) of them a few weeks ago for employment. They will be back for more female seafarers but we do not have the numbers they require\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-36053\" src=\"http:\/\/localhost:10003\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/rmu.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Ms. Bismarck commended the RMU for the initiatives taken to improve the number of female seafarers in the sector.
