WMU Annual Report 2022

ANNUAL REPORT 2022

THE MISSION OF THE WORLD MARITIME UNIVERSITY (WMU) IS TO BE THE WORLD CENTRE OF EXCELLENCE IN POSTGRADUATE MARITIME AND OCEANS EDUCATION, PROFESSIONAL TRAINING AND RESEARCH, WHILE BUILDING GLOBAL CAPACITY AND PROMOTING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT.

WHO WE ARE

As a global centre of excellence established within the framework of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), a specialized agency of the United Nations, the World Maritime University plays a significant role in maritime and ocean education, research, capacity-building and economic development while promoting the role of women in the maritime and ocean sectors.

The aim of WMU is to further enhance the objectives and goals of the IMO, IMO member States and the maritime industry, building global capacity through our unique postgraduate education programmes as well as professional development courses and research that meet the highest standards in maritime and oceans affairs. We work closely with the IMO and key stakeholders including maritime and port administrations, the maritime industry and non-governmental organizations.

The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) on 30 December 2022 adopted Resolution 77/248 on Oceans and the Law of the Sea. The resolution continues, for the thirteenth consecutive year since 2009, to recognize the importance of the World Maritime University (WMU) of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), as a centre of excellence for maritime education, research and capacity building. The resolution confirms WMU’s “effective capacity-building role in the field of maritime transportation, policy, administration, management, safety, security and environmental protection, as well as its role in the international exchange and transfer of knowledge, notes the role of the World Maritime University-Sasakawa Global Ocean Institute and urges States, intergovernmental organizations and other bodies to make voluntary financial contributions to the University’s Endowment Fund.” The University’s connection to the United Nations family, and unique relationship with IMO, are invaluable assets that are only offered by WMU.

The impact of WMU has been immense since its inauguration in 1983. With an international presence and a global reach, there are 5,807 graduates from 170 countries and territories. WMU continues to build maritime and ocean capacity and expertise taking into account the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) 2030.

THE VISION OF WMU IS TO INSPIRE LEADERSHIP AND INNOVATION FOR A SUSTAINABLE MARITIME AND OCEANS FUTURE.

Highlights include contributions to the Intergovernmental Conference on an international legally binding instrument on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ) at UNHQ, as well as the UNEA Intergovernmental Negotiation Committee aimed at developing a legally binding instrument on plastic pollution, including in the marine environment. The GOI also hosted several events in 2022 including a Regional Conference in Dominica on Identifying Regional Challenges and Opportunities to Address the Issue of Marine Debris, Sargassum and Marine Spatial Planning, and co-organizing with the City of Malmö the One Ocean One Planet: Ocean Literacy Action 2022 Conference. At the 2022 UN Ocean Conference in Lisbon, the GOI team co-hosted three side-events highlighting the Empowering Women for the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development Programme, as well as launching the associated Global Stakeholder Consultative Forum. The GOI also led WMU’s role in co-hosting with IMO the International Academic Conference titled “Protecting the Ocean – Moving forward at 50: London Convention & Stockholm Declaration”.

In addition to the events mentioned above, WMU hosted an international seminar on the role of green technologies and capacity building in maritime decarbonization, and hosted the hybrid workshop “Are EU ports ready for alternative fuels?” co-organized by the ENGIMMONIA and SEANERGY projects. The University also hosted the Local Governments for Sustainability (ICLEI) Research Symposium that was part of the ICLEI World Congress 2022, and served as a hub for the A Sustainable Tomorrow 2022 Conference – Sweden’s largest digital conference focused on the environment & the future.

New offerings in 2022 included a Summer Institute on Maritime Decarbonization, and an Executive and Professional Education

(EPEx) programme focused on Maritime Administration. The Summer Institute’s week-long Maritime Decarbonization programme welcomed 35 maritime professionals from 20 different countries to discuss the opportunities and challenges surrounding the reduction of GHG emissions from shipping. The two-week EPEx programme provided an academic offering to 17 professionals from 10 countries focused on specialized knowledge and insight for optimal success in Maritime Affairs. These short-course options for professionals provide a valuable lifelong learning option and we were pleased to welcome many WMU alumni back to the University for these offerings.

I wish to extend sincere thanks to the Government of Sweden and the City of Malmö, the hosts of WMU, for their continued generosity, including the financial support for the operations of the University and facilities to support the expanding WMU community of faculty, staff, researchers, PhD students and visiting lecturers. As I have reiterated many times, it is imperative that the long-term financial sustainability of WMU is secured. We thank the many donors, contributors, supporters, and the broader WMU community for their continued support. WMU’s mandate and mission are essential to the global maritime and oceans sector through providing advanced education, research, and capacity building. WMU’s position in the industry is unparalleled, and we must increase our unwavering efforts to advance the Stewards of the Sea campaign in support of the WMU Endowment Fund to ensure that this postgraduate academic institution for the world can continue to educate maritime and ocean leaders who will support a sustainable future for the generations to come.

The year 2022 marks my final full year as President of WMU. It has been an exceptional privilege to lead this esteemed institution. A hallmark of WMU over its near four decades of service to the maritime community is that it offers a matchless forum for bringing together maritime professionals from around the world, to exchange ideas, and to offer inspiration and understanding on common issues through the prism of a new approach. WMU has grown into a place that influences the whole world through our magnificent graduates who have been educated in the true spirit of the United Nations. Our alumni are cogs in the machinery that makes modern life possible. Together, we can work towards the creation of a safe, secure, sustainable and efficient maritime and oceans future – for the benefit of all of us, and the future generations to come.

SEANERGYProjectInitiated

Work began on 7 October 2022 with a 14 partner consortium on the EU funded Horizon Europe research project, SEANERGY

– Sustainability EducationAl programme for greeNER fuels and enerGY on ports.

SEANERGY aims at supporting the creation of the best possible setting and conditions

for the EU energy transition through the development and implementation of sustainability and educational paths centred on the port ecosystem. WMU will cooperate to achieve the project goal of developing a Master Plan to help achieve zero-emission ports by 2050 and provide solutions to port energy transition challenges. The master plan will be an aggregator of information and is intended to develop guidelines that will allow all the port-industry’s stakeholders, regardless of their geographical context, to assess, plan and execute the necessary activities towards transforming ports into clean energy hubs. WMU will lead the work on “Understanding the current EU ports’ situation and stakeholders,” that involves identification and analysis of the needs, barriers and know-how of stakeholders involved in the port energy transition. Additionally, WMU will contribute to the other three main stages of the project by supporting activities which will include a survey, an analysis, educational programmes and workshops.

OCEANICUProjectInitiated

Initiated in November 2022 with Horizon Europe funding, the Ocean Improving Carbon Understanding (Ocean ICU) research project aims at understanding past, present and future functioning of the ocean Carbon Cycle with focus on the role of ocean biology to allow managers to preserve and optimize the oceans’ ability to sequester carbon. This objective flows from the critical role the ocean Carbon cycle plays in regulating global climate, taking up approximately 25% of the CO2 emitted to the atmosphere and storing massive quantities of carbon in the interior, much of it via a series of processes known as the Biological Carbon Pump (BCP).  Ocean ICU has six measurable and verifiable Scientific and Technical and Outreach objectives related to reducing the uncertainty of past current and future estimates of the ocean C cycle, to produce mathematical representations of key processes, incorporate new knowledge from ST2 into OCEAN ICU modelling tools, to use observational data to create expert knowledge and model scenario simulations, to co-design and employ the ocean decision support tools, and to communicate the outputs in support of science-based management of human activities to protect and increase the role of the ocean in Carbon sequestration. The consortium includes 30 partners and is led by NORCE Norwegian Research Centre AS.

Dealingwithanxietyduringapandemic toenhanceadultwell-being

The COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected workplaces and individuals’ work-life balance, resulting in potentially impaired psychological well-being of employees. The main aim of this project, sponsored by Nordplus, is to contribute to diminishing the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on workplaces by the development and implementation of training for leaders and employees of organizations, including the maritime sector. The expected results of the project include: 1) to develop and pilot a unique, systematic, and well thought out training programme that is easily adaptable to support leaders in successfully reducing pandemic related anxiety and successively enhance the well-being of their employees through a positive psychoemotional and psychosocial workplace environment; 2) to promote the practical inclusion of the training programme in adult education agendas; 3) to prepare trainers to implement the training programme; and 4) to provide practical training for managers of companies and institutions.

ACapacity-buildingprojectto progresstheimplementation ofinternationalinstrumentsto combatIUUfishing(CAPFISH)

Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing is a complex international governance and sustainability problem that is multifaceted and needs to be tackled from many specialist angles. To solve the problem in the real world requires coordination and a holistic understanding of the problem and dissemination of this knowledge, particularly to developing country actors who need it most and have the power to affect change in their communities and institutions. The CAPFISH project, sponsored by the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries (MOF) of the Republic of Korea, draws upon global expertise in fisheries such as UN agencies, non-governmental organizations, and experts across the world. CAPFISH started in mid 2021 and successfully continued in 2022 with workshops and publications that create a unique opportunity for transformative education to help solve the problem of IUU fishing.

In2022,theGOIprogressedexceptionally wellandkeyhighlightsinclude:

RealizingNetworks

The GOI continues to foster transformative partnerships by engaging at a high level. During 2022, the GOI team strengthened strategic engagements with key partners and stakeholders. Collaboration also included multiple UN agencies and partners, international and regional organizations, academic institutions, non-governmental organizations, and civil society. The GOI hosted or co-hosted more than 15 events including international conferences, webinars and programme events, held a number of capacity building workshops and activities locally, and contributed to more than 50 international events within the oceans realm. In Sweden, these included Sweden’s Ocean Ambassador and Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Development Agency, the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management (SwAM) and the City of Malmö including local schools for youth engagement and capacity building.

ImpactandResearch

Several GOI members are actively involved in intergovernmental negotiations, in particular the Intergovernmental Conference on an international legally binding instrument on the conservation and sustainable use of marine biological diversity of areas beyond national jurisdiction (BBNJ) at UNHQ, as well as the UNEA Intergovernmental Negotiation Committee aimed at developing a legally binding instrument on plastic pollution, including in the marine environment.

Under The Nippon Foundation and NF-WMU Closing the Circle Programme, the GOI hosted a Regional Conference in Dominica on “Identifying Regional Challenges and Opportunities to Address the Issue of Marine Debris, Sargassum and Marine Spatial Planning” from 4–7 April 2022. In addition to the onsite participants, a global virtual audience of over 220 participants registered from over 40 countries to join the event. The audience represented diverse sectors including Governments, academia, industry, UN and intergovernmental organizations (IGOs), non-governmental organizations (NGOs), philanthropic foundations, and civil society with gender representation close to 50/50.

The GOI has close cooperation with the City of Malmö in advancing ocean related matters and capacity building locally as well as globally. During 2022, among the events the team co-organized and hosted with the City of Malmö was the One Ocean One Planet: Ocean Literacy Action 2022 Conference from 9–10 May and the delivery of a parallel session on “Achieving Ocean Literacy: Building Capacity and Actions for Implementation”. Further, the GOI hosted the Research Symposium at WMU with ICLEI – Local Governments for Sustainability and the City of Malmö linking ocean and urban sustainability agendas.

In June, the GOI co-hosted three side-events at the UN Ocean Conference in Lisbon, Portugal. Delivered in conjunction with a range of intergovernmental organizations and civil society organizations, they highlighted WMU’s research and capacity-building in the ocean and maritime realm, including, in particular, the Empowering Women for the United Nations Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development Programme, as well as launching the associated Global Stakeholder Consultative Forum. These events were well attended with representatives from national governments, international organizations, research institutions, private philanthropy in the field of women’s empowerment and leadership for ocean affairs, as well as NGOs and civil society representatives.

In October, the GOI led WMU’s role in cohosting with IMO the International Academic Conference titled “Protecting the Ocean –Moving forward at 50: London Convention & Stockholm Declaration”, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the two frameworks. The conference involved the contribution of 67 experts, coming from 36 different countries worldwide (52.2% women) and with 600 registered participants from 93 countries (53.3 % women).

During 2022, the GOI team published 47 international scholarly outputs, including 26 peer-reviewed journal articles, 20 scholarly book chapters and one book concerning ocean and maritime affairs.

CapacityBuildingandLearning

To further the Ocean Agenda and build capacity, in 2022 the GOI contributed to WMU’s PhD scholarship and Post-Doctoral fellowship programmes including:

Land-to-OceanLeadershipProgramme

PhD research programme exploring the potential for joint action between ocean, freshwater and land-based communities. The programme concluded in December of 2022 and was funded by the Swedish Agency for Marine and Water Management (SwAM/HaV), and the German Federal Ministry for Digital and Transport. In 2022, among other things, the team produced 11 academic publications, participated in high-level meetings and celebrated the graduation of the first two PhD candidates from a GOI-based PhD programme.

EmpoweringWomenintheUnitedNations DecadeofOceanScienceforSustainable DevelopmentProgramme

This PhD, post-doctoral research and capacity building programme aims to advance an alternative, inclusive model for the sustainable governance of ocean spaces and maritime activities taking into account the need to ensure effective gender equality and the empowerment of women at all levels. The programme is endorsed as a Decade Action to the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021–2030). In 2022, the Empowering Women Programme team played a major advocacy and engagement role at the United Nations Ocean Conference in Lisbon and the research team published three peer reviewed academic papers. The programme is funded by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO).

EuropeanUnionH2020BugWright2Project

The GOI is part of the consortium, funded by European Horizon 2020 Project “Autonomous Robotic Inspection and Maintenance on Ship Hulls,” with GOI research examining governance and regulatory barriers for service robotics in an ocean industry context. In 2022, the team published six peer-reviewed

publications, developed a stakeholder platform of regulatory and standard bodies, and endusers; and participated in seven international training sessions and conferences.

ClosingtheCircleProgramme: MarineDebris,SargassumandMarine SpatialPlanning

This PhD research programme focuses on exploring challenges and advancing potential solutions with respect to marine debris, Sargassum threats and marine spatial planning (MSP) in Small Island Developing States, with a particular focus on the Eastern Caribbean region. In 2022, the research team participated in numerous events including the largest international plastic conference – the 7 International Marine Debris Conference (IMDC), the 5 International Conference on Marine/Maritime Spatial Planning in Barcelona. In addition, the team was actively involved in the negotiations of the International Treaty on Plastics in the Marine Environment and published 10 peerreviewed journal articles. The programme is funded by The Nippon Foundation.

The GOI has also continued to contribute to the Ocean Sustainability, Governance & Management (OSGM) specialization in the Malmö MSc programme by providing expert lecturers on a wide range of topics, including Ocean Governance and Multilateral Diplomacy, scientific findings of the GOI BUGWRIGHT2 and Closing the Circle programmes, as well as supervising dissertations and participating in field studies.

EXECUTIVE AND PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION (EPEX)

From 5 to 16 September, WMU held the inaugural Education for Professional Excellence (EPEx) programme focused on Maritime Administration. Offered as two, one-week modules, the programme provided an academic offering to professionals in the maritime and ocean sectors and was specifically designed to equip individuals with specialized knowledge and insight for optimal success in Maritime Affairs.

Safe, secure, environmentally friendly, and efficient transport of the world’s goods requires a robust international legal and regulatory framework. Without a common, universal framework, the world’s ships would have to navigate through a maze of differing and potentially conflicting national laws and requirements. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) is the UN specialized agency with responsibility for the development, adoption, and updating of treaties, conventions, standards, and other legislation that comprise this framework. Other UN organizations, such as the International Labour Organization (ILO), also contribute to this framework.

In total, 17 participants from 10 countries participated in the programme that featured high level speakers from the International Maritime Organization (IMO), Swedish Transport Agency, Danish Maritime

Authority (DMA), Transport Canada, United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), and European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA), International Organization of Airport & Seaport Police (INTERPORTPOLICE), as well as the former CEO of the Ghana Shippers Authority. The first module focused on Essentials of Maritime Administration, and the second on Maritime Administrations and International Organizations.

With its unique concentration of international maritime and ocean expertise and unparalleled network of alumni and visiting faculty, WMU is proud to offer the EPEx programme to equip key and senior maritime administration personnel with skills and knowledge at both basic and advanced levels. The EPEx portfolio offers short courses for government officials and industry professionals who wish to gain a deeper understanding of maritime and ocean topics through modules that employ a combination of classroom lectures, presentations, group work/interaction, expert panels, and simulation exercises. Through its educational offerings, WMU meets the needs and requirements of particular organizations and actively supports the commitment to UN Sustainable Development Goal 4: inclusive and equitable quality education and the promotion of lifelong learning opportunities for all.

SUMMER INSTITUTE

On 22 August, WMU launched the inaugural WMU Summer Institute with a week-long intensive programme on Maritime Decarbonization. A total of 35 maritime professionals from 20 different countries and five continents spent the week learning about and discussing the opportunities and challenges surrounding the reduction of GHG emissions from shipping.

The philosophy behind the WMU Summer Institute on Maritime Decarbonization is that the inevitable maritime energy transition is an opportunity for the industry. Maritime transport is an essential pillar for world trade, carrying over 80% of international merchandise by volume and emitting around 3% of global anthropogenic emissions. The maritime industry inherently offers the lowest GHG emissions and energy consumption per transport mode, and has a wide range of technical possibilities for energy saving and replacement of fossil energy with sustainable options. Maritime transport also has great opportunities for adopting carbon free energy sources given the dimensions of commercial vessels, and that vast renewable energy resources are available on the world’s oceans.

Delivered by a team of WMU faculty and researchers, the Summer Institute incorporated a holistic approach to maritime decarbonization by looking at regulatory, social, environmental, technological

and economic challenges. In the unique international setting provided by WMU, through a combination of lectures and participant interaction, the course highlighted the complexity of the issues surrounding decarbonization of shipping while looking for solutions. Content included fundamental international regulations, technical aspects of ship design, future energy technologies including wind and solar power, and looked at the economic mechanisms that determine to a large extent the plausible pathways for decarbonization in the context of supply chain and financing.

The Summer Institute on Maritime Decarbonization supports WMU’s commitment to the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda, in particular Goal 7 focused on affordable and clean energy and Goal 13 focused on climate action. In addition to Maritime Decarbonization, in 2023, Summer Institute offerings will include Mental Health & Well-being, International Maritime Law, and Current Issues in Ports & Terminals.

INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCES & EVENTS

WMU typically hosts and/or partners on several events annually. The COVID-19 pandemic continued to affect the onsite delivery of events in 2022, yet the University was able to deliver and contribute to several events, eventually onsite as well as online, as restrictions were lifted. Events in 2022 included:

The Regional Conference in Dominica on “Identifying Regional Challenges and Opportunities to Address the Issue of Marine Debris, Sargassum and Marine Spatial Planning” took place from 4–7 April 2022.

STAFF GROUP BY GENDER AS OF 31 DECEMBER 2022

CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE UN 2030 SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AGENDA

The United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by the UN General Assembly in 2015, includes a bold set of Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). The 17 Goals and their targets are intended, inter alia, to guide the global efforts to end poverty, promote prosperity and well-being for all, protect the environment and address climate change.

Through its well-established education, capacity building and research agenda and recognizing that all the Goals are interrelated and indivisible, in 2022 WMU continued its direct and tangible contribution to the implementation of Global Goals 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 13, 14, 16 and 17.

WMU’s proactive approach to Goal 5 of the UN SDGs regarding gender equality and the empowerment of women continued in 2022. Until the late 1990s, female students made up less than 5% of the Malmö intake. A recruitment strategy with strong support from fellowship donors has resulted in the proportion of female students rising to around a third of the annual intake. In 2022, the Malmö MSc intake was 38 percent women.

INDUSTRY LIAISON GROUP

The shipping industry requires a cadre of well-educated, trained and skilled professionals to support the moving of 80 percent of world trade. Mutually beneficial relationships between WMU as the preeminent maritime academic institution and the maritime industry are therefore indispensable.

To facilitate the WMU-industry partnership, it was decided that the President, supported by an Advisory Group, should establish an Industry Liaison Group (ILG) involving key industry stakeholders reflecting a wide variety of maritime and oceans industry,

value chain actors and expertise. The ILG is to create and strengthen mutually beneficial strategic relationships and partnerships between the University and maritime industry stakeholders, including in the area of research. It is also to serve as an expert information source on key trends and developments in the industry and to further support WMU’s mission and its contribution to the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Meetings of the ILG Development Group took place in 2022 and discussions are continuing with that group, the Development Committee, and a number of industry leaders, to move the ILG initiative forward.

STEWARDS OF THE SEA CAMPAIGN

In support of the WMU Endowment Fund efforts, the Stewards of the Sea campaign aims to achieve the strategic objective of long-term financial stability, independence and sustainability of the University as well as to augment WMU’s capacity to provide education, training, research, scholarship and capacity building in maritime and ocean related matters for government officials and industry stakeholders, particularly those in developing countries.

Supported by the Endowment Fund Committees, the University devised an Institutional Advancement and

Communications Plan as the basis for strategic and systematic engagement with potential donors across a range of funding opportunities, including giving to the WMU Endowment Fund. In addition, the WMU Business Case brochure titled “Stewards of the Sea” was developed as one of the communication tools in support of fundraising efforts.
