The Vice President of Ghana, Mr John Mahama is expected to lead the crème de la crème of the decision makers in the maritime industry within the West Africa sub region to this year’s West Africa Maritime Award (MAMA) 2009 as the Chief Guest of Honour.

Eminent resource persons from within and outside the sub region will make presentations and discuss salient issues that are responsible for West Africa being outside several trends in the global supply chain.

Issues to be discussed include the role of seaports in the fight to eradicate poverty in West Africa, maritime and trade financing under current global economic downturn and how West Africa supply chain can become globally competitive.
