Bandari Maritime Academy

Bandari Maritime Academy formerly known as Bandari College was established in the 80´s by Kenya Ports Authority, to build skills that would enhance efficiency on port operations.

Shortage of skills in the maritime sector informed the establishment of Bandari Maritime Academy through Legal Notice No. 233 of 28th November 2018 that transformed Bandari College into Bandari Maritime Academy.

Bandari Maritime Academy is a regional maritime centre of excellence for skills development for the blue economy. The blue economy sector is the next frontier for the economic development of our country.

Bandari Maritime Academy has acquired training equipment that addresses critical areas in the Blue Economy and is now empowered to conduct research on transport at the coastline and in the inland waters.
