Training future leaders in maritime transport policy

The seminar highlighted the importance of good governance practices in policy making with a focus on economic, environmental, safety and human factors, as well as open dialogue and active stakeholder engagement. Students had the opportunity to take part in a practical group exercise where they further familiarized themselves with the National Maritime Transport Policyconcept by developing key aspects of a maritime transport policy for a fictitious state.

The training seminar was delivered in partnership with the World Maritime University (WMU) in a collaborative effort between IMO's two Global Maritime Training Institutions, WMU and IMLI, under IMO's Integrated Technical Cooperation Programme (ITCP).
