addressed.

Minister of Transport, Mohamed Ali, and to Harbormaster 
Captain Mohamed Moussa Abar 19 August.  Poloff received 
favorable response on the issue and was informed that 
Djibouti has ratified the new regulations into law as of the 
end of June this year.  Ali told Poloff he would transmit the 
information necessary.  He also commented that Djibouti hopes 
to have all the changes put into practice by the end of this 
year.  Captain Abar commented that while Djibouti has begun 
physically implementing the changes in regulation there is 
still work to be done.  Abar noted that the financing 
required makes it difficult to do quickly.  He also commented 
that the Port is putting pressure on Maritime affairs to 
ensure that all Djiboutian flag ships are up to code.
