Driving maritime excellence across Africa
Where AfMASA concentrates its advocacy, partnerships and programmes
Building partnerships that strengthen shipping networks and foster inter-regional trade.
AfMASA convenes governments, ports, shipping lines, financiers and service providers across Africa, and with key global partners, to align on shared maritime priorities, reduce friction and open new trade corridors.
Developing the maritime sector through training, best practices, and innovation initiatives.
From seafarer development and human capital building to the adoption of new technologies, we grow the capacity and competitiveness of African maritime businesses and professionals.
Engaging with government and regulatory bodies to create favorable maritime policy environments.
We champion regulatory harmonization, the domestication of continental instruments such as the Revised African Maritime Transport Charter, and the removal of policy bottlenecks that raise the cost of African trade.
Promoting intra-African shipping connectivity and reducing trade barriers across the continent.
Acting as a key business enabler of the AfCFTA, we work to eliminate transport-related bottlenecks, standardize documentation and align customs procedures for the seamless movement of goods.
