New maritime
security documentary launched
Tuesday, 12 August 2008
What better way to show the world the Pacific’s concerted
effort in meeting their maritime security obligations than capturing
it on camera...
SPC's Regional Maritime Programme (RMP) is pleased to launch
Pacific's Maritime Challenges on the War against Terror, a
documentary on the challenges faced by the Pacific Island countries
and territories (PICTs) in
implementing and
maintaining compliance with the mandatory provisions of the
International Ship and Port Facility
Security (ISPS)
Code.
It may seem an impossible ask to capture almost four years of
steadfast committment accurately in a 12-minute documentary but the
producers, SPC’s Regional Media Centre (RMC), have done an
exceptional job of showcasing the milestones achieved by PICTs since
July 2004. A whooping thank you to Larry Thomas and his
team...
The first cut of the documentary was viewed and appreciated by the
60 plus participants attending the Pacific Maritime Security
Conference held in Nadi, Fiji, from 12th - 14th May 2008.
A
much wider airing of the documentary is
being planned for
later in the year through the television programme, Pacific Way.
Pacific communities with access to Pacific Way airing will have the
opportunity to sit back and reflect on yet another successful
'battle'; in the
history of the
Pacific.
Copies of the DVDs are available from RMP only, at a cost of
FJ$10.00 (not applicable to RMP's regional counterparts in PICTs).
