The International Maritime Organization IMO and the European Union EU have launched the Future-Ready Shipping in Africa project.
The initiative is designed to support the African continent's transition toward a sustainable, decarbonised, and digitally advanced maritime sector.
The project is backed by a 5 million pledge from the European Union, confirmed during a signing ceremony on November 26. The goal is to promote economic growth, environmental protection, and social development, with a specific focus on strengthening gender balance within the maritime sector.
