Maritime affairs: DGAM looks abroad to strengthen its operational capabilities

Côte d’Ivoire’s Directorate General of Maritime Affairs (DGAM) is seeking to modernize its surveillance, security and rescue capabilities at sea and on lagoons. A delegation led by Deputy Director General for Operations Colonel Sekou Sanogo has been in the United Arab Emirates since November 2, 2026, at the invitation of industrial group MILKOR. In Dubai and Abu Dhabi, the delegation examined the group’s nautical equipment and took part in an at-sea demonstration aboard a patrol boat to assess its performance and technical features.
