DIRECTOR OF SHIPPING, PORTS, AND FREIGHT SERVICES

About this Job:

The Intergovernmental Standing Committee on Shipping (ISCOS) was established in 1967 by the Governments of Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and Zambia to take care of their maritime interests in the region. A permanent Secretariat was established in 1974 and has since been headquartered in Mombasa, Kenya. Since its inception, ISCOS has contributed immensely to the development of & Maritime Economy and the Harmonization of Maritime policies of Member Governments. In particular ISCOS has been at the fore front of representing the interests of Governments and Shippers in the region, especially in the fields of ocean freight rates, port performance, research, and the provision of timely advice to Member states on maritime matters affecting the region.

In 2006, Member Governments through a’ protocol amending the 1987 Agreement transformed the organisation into a one stop centre of excellence for regional maritime matters and total transport logistics. The organisations’ mandate was reviewed to allow private sector participation in ISCOS affairs. In addition, its mandate was extended to covet the role of inland water-ways and ports. ISCOS possible membership was also opened to the States of East and Central Africa. The Organisation is the main point of reference for maritime and sea transportation matters affecting the region and continues to be the main interface between the region’s cargo owners and the greater shipping world. Currently, the organisation has embarked on an ambitious campaign to mobilise shippers into formidable shipper’s councils and sensitising them on international trading practices. The Organisation is mainly Government funded, and employs its staff from all ISCOS member states.
