The National Directorate of Aquatic Spaces of Ecuador (DIRNEA) and the General Maritime Directorate of Colombia (DIMAR) signed a cooperation agreement for the mutual recognition of seafarer competency certificates and certificates of proficiency. The signing took place in Lima, Peru, during the XXV Ordinary Meeting of ROCRAM.
The agreement will facilitate the professional practice of seafarers on board Colombian and Ecuadorian flagged vessels. This initiative seeks to promote labor mobility and strengthen cooperation between the maritime authorities of both countries.
This measure represents an advance in regional maritime integration and the articulation of professional recognition procedures. Likewise, it contributes to the strengthening of the maritime sector and the development of activities related to international maritime transport.
