In addition, the courses will have both theoretical and practical components, which meet International Maritime Organisation (IMO) standards.

“Establishing a dedicated marine academy will be a significant step towards ensuring a steady supply of qualified professionals within the Middle East. We have chosen Dubai Maritime City’s educational complex for this project because it provides highly developed educational facilities that meeting the highest international standards. Many universities, institutes and research centres have already expressed an interest in establishing their operations within DMCC,” he added.
