The upcoming Maritime Training and Capacity Building Programme (MTCP) will primarily focus on “Future of Maritime Economics: Solutions to Global Conflicts via UN SDG 8 Integration”. This programme is a critical training course that addresses the profound significance of the maritime industry in the context of today’s ever-evolving global landscape. Maritime economics not only drives international trade and economic growth but also holds the potential to mitigate global conflicts and promote sustainable development. The course recognises the interconnecting nature of these significant factors and seeks to equip participants with the background and case studies to harness the maritime sector’s potential for the greater good of maritime trade.
