World Maritime Day 2025

This year’s IMO theme — “Our Ocean, Our Obligation, Our Opportunity” — reminds us that the ocean is not only our responsibility, but also a source of possibility and progress.

As METFUND, we reaffirm our dedication to elevating Maritime Education & Training (MET) in Tanzania and beyond, for the sustainable stewardship and development of our marine domain.

Since 1974, Tanzania has been a proud Member State of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), contributing to and benefiting from international collaboration in shipping, marine protection, and capacity building.

• Empower maritime learners and professionals with funding, scholarships, and cutting-edge training
• Enrich curricula and skills in ocean sciences, marine sustainability, and innovation
• Partner with institutions, government agencies, and global bodies to promote a resilient Blue Economy

By marrying strong human capital with sustainable practices, METFUND seeks to transform Tanzania’s maritime sector into a model of excellence, contribution, and environmental care.

Together, let us turn obligation into opportunity!

Happy World Maritime Day 2025!
