2026 SIREN training course in the Gulf of Guinea

As part of the SIREN (regional on-board digital training) initiative led by the French Navy’s Atlantic Command (CECLANT), under the patronage of the Yaoundé Architecture, CEDRE provided training to naval officers from the Gulf of Guinea in October.

This year’s edition was organised as a hybrid training course, combining digital content developed by CEDRE with an on-board phase between Praia and Cotonou. The trainees were thus able to put their knowledge into practice through hands-on applications and a crisis management exercise simulating a major oil spill, in accordance with IMO Level 3 standards.

This course helps to strengthen operational capabilities and regional cooperation in relation to accidental marine pollution.
