Dubai:  Dubai Maritime City Authority recently held a meeting in Cairo with the Arab Sea Ports Federation, or ASPF, to activate the memorandum of understanding signed by both parties earlier this year, which aims at identifying and capitalising on joint opportunities for co-operation and mutual growth between the
two parties.
One of the most important steps approved during the meeting was the establishment of a mechanism that ensures full capitalisation by ASPF of Emirates International Maritime Academy’s offering. In addition, the academy will continuously update ASPF and its members on its course offerings, as well as providing a range of benefits for members.
Commenting on the occasion, Abdulla Al Hayyas, Senior Manager , Emirates International Maritime Academy and Dubai Maritime City Campus, said: “Our partnership with the Arab Sea Ports Federation is an integral part of Dubai Maritime City Authority’s programme to engage in long-term business relationships with leading regional and international maritime institutions and help expand our relationships and presence across the Arab world, especially within key maritime centres of the region.” [19/05/09]
