由于大不列颠及北爱尔兰联合王国提供了70万英镑的资助，国际海事组织提高国际港口安全标准的工作得到了推动。

这笔资金将专门用于北非和撒哈拉以南非洲、中东和亚太地区的港口安全活动，以加强执行《国际海上人命安全公约》第XI-2章和《国际船舶和港口设施保安规则》，这两项规则为国际航运和港口的全球安全制度提供了框架。贯穿这些区域的海上贸易路线的安全保障至关重要，因为它们对全球南方的经济繁荣至关重要。

这笔财政捐款是通过国际海事组织的国际海上安全信托基金(IMST)提供的。此前，英国在2014年为海上安全工作做出了贡献。

9月13日，海事组织秘书长Kitack Lim在海事组织总部接受了联合王国运输部海事安全业务副主任John Connell的捐款。

英文原文

IMO’s work to improve security standards at international ports has been given a lift courtesy of a £700,000 funding contribution from the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.

The funding will be targeted at port security activities across North and Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle-East and the Asia-Pacific region to enhance the implementation of SOLAS Chapter XI-2 and the ISPS Code which provides the framework for a global security regime for international shipping and ports. The safety and security of the maritime trade routes which run through these regions is vital as they are pivotal to the economic prosperity of the Global South.

The financial donation has been made through IMO’s International Maritime Security Trust Fund (IMST). It follows a previous contribution from the United Kingdom in 2014 for maritime security work.

IMO Secretary-General Kitack Lim was presented with the funding contribution on 13 September at IMO Headquarters by John Connell, Deputy Director, Maritime Security Operations at the United Kingdom’s Department for Transport.
