The Committee was informed that a new training package for the development, adoption and updating national maritime transport policies was nearing completion, following a series of pilot regional workshops and seminars around the world. The package is being developed in conjunction with the World Maritime University (WMU). The promotion and development of national policies to guide planning, decision making and relevant legislative actions is a good governance practice of many governments. The development of a National Maritime Transport Policy is seen as crucial in serving as a fundamental guidance document, for successive governments, to provide a long-term sustainable vision for the future of the maritime sector, given its critical importance to the socio-economic development and environmental well-being of a country.
