The Association of African Maritime Administration (AAMA), is the coordinating body for Maritime Administrations in Africa, established pursuant to Article 5 of the African Maritime Transport Charter (AMTC). The Association is made up of five (5) African stakeholders’ group namely:
The Association of African Maritime Administrations
Africa Ship Registrars’ Forum
African Ship Owners’ Associations
Africa Shippers’ Council and all Cargo Interest
Seafarers’ Forum
FUTURE EVENTS:
6th AAMA conference to be hosted by Seychelles in 2021. (Date and venue to be confirmed.)
Responding to Africa’s insignificant share of global investments in the maritime sector despite her significant contribution to global maritime traffic and the revived aspiration for a strategic take-off as noted in the African Maritime Transport Charter, it became necessary to facilitate a forum to bring together like minded Agencies and Associations to discuss Africa’s maritime governance amongst other pertinent issues.
The aim of the Association is to promote the development of Africa’s maritime regulatory and maritime environment, encouraging harmonisation for greater competitiveness on a global basis, promote the sharing of best practices among Africa’s Maritime Administrations in order to enable the growth of the African maritime sector and enhancement of continental collaboration to build consensus on issues of common interests in the maritime sector.
