Lawmakers are calling for new ships to patrol Ghana's ocean waters. These ships are called offshore patrol vessels.
The call comes after fishermen were attacked by armed individuals recently. This happened near Senya Bereku.
A named official said these vessels are urgently needed. They would make Ghana's waters safer.
The official believes having these ships would make pirates think twice before attacking. It would act as a strong warning.
This is seen as important for maritime security in Ghana.
