In the context of the DG NEAR Financed project (BCSEA) for technical assistance in the field of maritime safety, maritime security and protection of the marine environment, from 28 to 30 November 2017 an EMSA team carried out a Fact Finding Mission to Moldova.

Scope of the Fact Finding Mission was to get an overall picture of the country in the areas covered by the Project and identifying, in close cooperation with the Maritime Authority of Moldova – Harbour master Giurgiulesti, possible support that can be provided to the country through the BCSEA project.

The Fact Finding Mission was carried out at the Harbour Master Giurgiulesti premises in Chisinau, Moldova and the good cooperation between the EMSA and the Moldovan representatives as well as the open approach to the Mission provided useful inputs in view of the implementation of the BCSEA project.
