All about Maritime Education and Training
Shipping is characterized by its international nature. The globalized nature of shipping, in conjunction with the large amounts transported, make this industry fascinating. Ships may be built in China, owned by Greeks, flagged by Panama and Liberia, classified by the Norwegian-German classification society, financed by international funds, and insured in London, moving products and people to every port and continent.
Why should training, education or consultancy only be delivered locally?
Why should capabilities be constrained by locality for such an internationally competitive industry?
World Maritime Academy is undertaking a 100% online attitude towards shipping training, consultancy and research. Using our international network, we are able to identify your educational and consultancy needs and fulfil those needs by using top resources from all over the world, allowing lean operations and profitable business prospects.
