Africa-Press – Tanzania. <\/strong><\/span>A high-profile delegation from the Arab Academy for Science, Technology, and<\/b> Maritime Transport (AASMT) is visiting the Tanzania Ports Authority (TPA) to explore potential collaborations aimed at enhancing local maritime sector\u2019s workforce development and operational efficiency.<\/p>\n

The delegation, led by President of AASMT Prof Ismail Abdelghafal Ismail Farah and Director and Dean of Admissions Prof Mohammed Essam Khedr, was welcomed by Bandari College Principal Dr Lufunyo Hussein, highlighting the visit\u2019s shared goals between AASMT and TPA to advance maritime education, workforce training, and port operations.<\/p>\n

Elaborating, Dr Hussein emphasised the importance of expanding maritime education in Tanzania, saying: \u201cThis initiative is part of the larger vision to elevate Tanzania\u2019s maritime infrastructure and workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n

On his part, Prof Khedr noted the potentials for collaboration between AASMT and TPA, adding that it will integrate expertise across various international institutes to create joint courses and instructor exchanges, citing successful models in Spain, France, and Egypt.<\/p>\n

He further said: \u201cWe have a strong market in Africa, and we can build joint programmes with Tanzanian institutes to share knowledge, resources, and instructors.<\/p>\n

Equally, the delegation head proposed specialised training courses involving Egyptian, Norwegian, and other international instructors, aimed at covering a wide range of maritime and logistics topics with the Tanzania partners.<\/p>\n

Acknowledging the importance of such partnerships, Dr. Hussein noted that collaboration with AASMT would help ensure the highest quality of workforce development.<\/p>\n

He stressed that \u201ctraining the right people is crucial for port security and efficiency,\u201d and emphasized the importance of nurturing both skills and the right attitudes among maritime personnel.<\/p>\n

In a move to further strengthen ties, Dr Hussein shared that the Tanzanian government is investing heavily in port infrastructure, with projects such as the Bagamoyo port development and modernization of the Mtwara and Tanga ports.<\/p>\n

These efforts are aimed at improving port throughput and creating a demand for skilled professionals. \u201cAs we increase port operations and vessels, we need to ensure we have trained pilots, marine engineers, and other key personnel ready to handle the expanded capacity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In a related development, Prof Ismail Abdelghafal, who oversees the Academy\u2019s comprehensive programs in maritime, logistics, and technology, stressed the Academy\u2019s role in shaping the future talent pool for Egypt and the Arab world.<\/p>\n

Prof Ismail highlighted the Academy\u2019s strong relationships with global institutions, including the World Maritime University, and expressed a keen interest in welcoming Tanzanian students for specialized training programs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Academy\u2019s mission is to provide advanced maritime education and prepare students for the challenges of modern maritime and logistics industries,\u201d Prof Ismail explained. \u201cWe are ready to collaborate with Tanzanian institutions to help improve maritime operations and create a workforce equipped for future technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n

On her part, the Integrated Solutions for Ports Chief Executive Officer Hala El Sheridy said that the collaboration also includes technology-driven solutions, such as automation software for shipment planning and port management<\/p>\n

She added: \u201cWe can significantly enhance port efficiency by implementing our automation systems and we look forward to bringing our solutions to Tanzania\u2019s ports, boosting performance and operational efficiency.\u201d<\/p>\n

The visit culminated in discussions on drafting a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between AASMT and TPA to formalize the partnership. This MoU will outline specific areas of cooperation, including joint training programs, curriculum development, and research initiatives.<\/p>\n
