Message from the Chancellor I was delighted to visit the World Maritime University in January 2016, very soon after I took office as Secretary-General of IMO and Chancellor of WMU. As the first WMU graduate to take up these positions, it is a sincere pleasure to see how WMU has grown and developed since I graduated in 1991. The calendar year 2015 was marked by significant changes and developments for WMU. In April, the University moved to its wonderful new home in the heart of Malmö, which offers outstanding facilities for teaching, learning and research. Soon after, in June, Dr. Cleopatra Doumbia-Henry took up her post as the seventh WMU President - the first female in the role as well as the first President from a developing country. Dr. Doumbia-Henry joined WMU from the International Labour Office of the International Labour Organization, where she was Director of the International Labour Standards Department. In May 2015, the Study on the Financial Sustainability of the World Maritime University was approved by WMU’s Board of Governors, and subsequently was noted by the IMO Council at its June 2015 session. This Study provides a road-map for the University’s future, and will stand, together with the establishment of the WMU Endowment Fund, as a great testament to the passion and enthusiasm of my predecessor as Secretary-General of IMO and Chancellor, Mr. Koji Sekimizu. His devotion to WMU has placed the University in a secure position
to develop and grow, so that it can continue to play its vital role in working to achieve IMO’s aims in capacity building worldwide. My personal vision is one of strengthened partnerships – between developing and developed countries, between governments and industry, between IMO Member States and international, regional and national organizations. WMU has an essential role to play in achieving this vision; it provides the springboard for these partnerships on a daily basis, not least by educating managers, policy-makers and technical experts. The theme for World Maritime Day 2016 is “Shipping: indispensable to the world”. This will provide the opportunity to focus on the critical link between shipping and global society and to raise awareness of the relevance of the role of IMO as the global regulatory body for international shipping. WMU graduates are expert in understanding and implementing the comprehensive framework of global regulations covering maritime safety, environmental protection, legal matters and other areas, developed and adopted by IMO over the past 50 years. Under this regulatory framework, shipping has become progressively safer, more efficient and more environment-friendly. I extend my sincere thanks to the many donors whose generous support advances the important mission of WMU and I look forward to discussing with industry stakeholders how they can contribute to a sustainable maritime industry and secure the future of tomorrow’s maritime leaders through support of WMU. I am certain that with its academic strengths, its road-map for the future and with President Doumbia-Henry at the helm, WMU is superbly positioned to continue to fulfill its essential mission, on behalf of IMO and all its member States. Mr. Kitack Lim Chancellor
WMU’s mission 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. 2

Message from the President As the President of the World Maritime University (WMU), I am pleased to present our Annual Report for 2015. This is a very exciting time in the history of the WMU. Since its establishment in 1983 by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), WMU has grown over the years, and 2015 was a year of significant milestones. This remarkable institution continues to fulfil its maritime education and capacity building mission and to adapt in order to meet the evolving needs of a vibrant maritime industry in the context of a continued rapidly globalizing environment where technological change and evolving educational needs drive innovation. A number of important developments have marked 2015, including the appointment in December 2015 by the IMO Assembly of Mr. Kitack Lim as Secretary-General of the IMO and the adoption of amendments to the WMU Charter. One of these amendments to the Charter enabled Mr. Lim to become automatically the Chancellor of WMU on 1 January 2016. We at WMU are particularly proud, as Mr. Lim is also a WMU graduate from the Class of 1991. In April 2015, we moved to new and extraordinary premises which were generously made available by the City of Malmö to whom we are very grateful. Our exceptional new building received two coveted prizes and provides for an open and inclusive environment that reflects our forward-looking agenda. New strategic directions set out in the IMO’s Secretary General’s Study on the Financial Sustainability of WMU have been endorsed by the governance structures of the WMU and noted by the IMO Council and Assembly. Based on the decisions made, WMU was given additional mandates concerning the oceans, the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the extension of its educational and capacity-building mandate to include developed countries. WMU also received in 2015 independent accreditation as a higher education provider by the Central Evaluation and Accreditation Agency of Hanover (ZEvA), awarding the University unconditional accreditation of the Master of Science (M.Sc.) programme in Maritime Affairs and of the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) programme in Maritime Affairs. The University’s Board of Governors also approved in 2015 the Statutes to operationalize an Endowment Fund for the University to enable it to secure the financial future of WMU.
The year of 2015 has also been a milestone for sustainable development, providing a unique opportunity for the University to enhance its curriculum, capacity building and research work contributing to the capacity of the maritime transport sector and the implementation of the relevant goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by the United Nations on 25 September 2015. Of the 17 interrelated Goals, intended to guide the global efforts to end poverty, promote prosperity, protect the environment and address climate change, WMU identified its direct contribution to the implementation of goals 4, 5, 7, 9, 13, 14 and 17. Goal 4 aims to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong learning opportunities for all. Goal 5 focuses on achieving gender equality and empowerment of all women and girls. Goal 7 concerns access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all. Goal 9 addresses building resilient infrastructure, promoting inclusive and sustainable industrialization and fostering innovation. Goal 13 calls for urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts. Goal 14 deals with the conservation and sustainable use of the oceans, seas and maritime resources for sustainable development. Goal 17 deals with strengthening the means of implementation and revitalization of the global partnership for sustainable development. Directly addressing goals 7 and 14, in 2015 WMU announced two new specializations within the M.Sc. in Maritime Affairs - in Maritime Energy Management and Ocean Sustainability, Governance & Management. The global maritime and ocean education that WMU provides will sustainably contribute, in an environmentally responsible way, to safe, secure and efficient shipping on clean oceans in support of the maritime industry as an engine of world trade and as a leader in sustainable development. The 2015 theme for World Maritime Day - The Future directions for Maritime Education and Training - was especially close to my heart. Through our mission of building capacity through education, training and research, WMU contributes to the worldwide health and sustainability of the oceans, seas, and the shipping industry. The impact of WMU over the years is testimony to the results achieved in educating and building capacity of the maritime and oceans leaders of tomorrow. I look forward to advancing the University’s mission with our Chancellor, Secretary-General Kitack Lim, as we work to secure the financial future of this unique institution. We will continue to educate maritime and ocean professionals from around the globe, while advancing the mission and goals of IMO and the UN system on maritime and ocean issues as well as building capacity for and partnerships with the maritime stakeholders and industry. Dr. Cleopatra Doumbia-Henry President

Governance and Management The Board of Governors met in Malmö on 17 and 18 May 2015, and there was in addition an Extraordinary Session of the Board held on 31 October 2015. The Executive Board met three times in 2015, on 31 March, 8 September and 17 December. The main item for consideration at these meetings was the Report on the Study on the Financial Sustainability of the University. Approved in May by the Board of Governors, the Study Report has been welcomed as providing the road charting for the University’s future. Drafts of the Strategic Plan 2016-2019 and the Business Plan 2016-2017 were considered at the Executive Board in December, and final versions will be submitted to the governing bodies in 2016. An important element in the Report on the Study of the Financial Sustainability was the recommendation that the University establish an Endowment Fund, with a target of US$ 100 million. The Extraordinary Session of the Board of Governors of 31 October approved the Interim Statute for the Endowment Fund, and instructed the President to operationalize the Fund. The Extraordinary Session also approved proposed amendments to the Charter, and requested the Secretary-General of IMO to propose these amendments to the 28th extraordinary session of the Council of IMO for approval and to the 29th regular session of the Assembly of IMO which adopted the amendments which came into force on 1 January 2016.
maximum period of five years, by the German agency, Zentrale Evaluations- und Akkreditierungsagentur Hannover/ Central Evaluation and Accreditation Agency Hanover, known as ZEvA. During the inauguration of the new WMU Building in May, important donor commitments were made by both the Nippon Foundation and the Government of Norway. Dr. Yohei Sasakawa, Chairman of the Nippon Foundation, announced that the foundation was prepared to set up a special endowment fund worth US$100 million, to support the University to establish itself as “an ocean and maritime research institution engaged in multi-disciplinary scientific research in the marine field, and an educational institution that generates human resources who have the capacity to address ocean issues with a multidisciplinary approach.” Dr. Sasakawa also pledged a further US$3 million per annum for ten years to continue its existing student fellowship programme and enhance the Nippon Foundation Chair. The Government of Norway pledged support for student fellowships, and an agreement was subsequently signed whereby Norway will provide fellowship funding of NOK 10.5 million over 2016 and 2017.
In association with the Extraordinary Session of the Board of Governors, the University community said farewell to WMU’s well-loved Chancellor, Mr. Koji Sekimizu, who served as Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) since January 2012, and Chancellor of WMU since June 2012; Mr. Sekimizu stepped down from both roles on 31 December 2015. Following his election as Secretary-General of IMO in December 2015, on 1 January 2016, Mr. Kitack Lim took up office as WMU’s Chancellor. Mr Lim is the first Chancellor and first IMO Secretary-General to hold an M.Sc. degree from the University. At the end of June 2015, WMU was delighted to welcome a new President, Dr. Cleopatra Doumbia-Henry (LLB, LLM, LLM, Ph.D. International Law). Dr. Doumbia-Henry came to WMU after a long and distinguished career at the United Nations’ International Labour Organization, most recently as Director of the International Labour Standards Department. She spearheaded the work relating to the development and adoption of the Maritime Labour Convention, 2006. Dr. Doumbia-Henry is the seventh WMU president and the first female in the role, as well as the first President from a developing country. The Board of Governors expressed their gratitude to Professor Neil Bellefontaine, who had served as Acting President from 1 June 2014. On 25 September, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development that includes 17 Global Goals and their targets, intended to guide the global efforts to end poverty, promote prosperity and wellbeing for all, protect the environment and address climate change. WMU is committed to supporting the 2030 Agenda through the maritime and ocean education that WMU provides, sustainably contributing to safe, secure and efficient shipping on clean oceans. WMU will ensure that its education, capacity building and research strategy help maritime and ocean constituents, including those involved in deep-sea mining and energy production and transport. It immediately designed two new Masters of Science specializations, in Ocean Sustainability, Governance & Management and Maritime Energy Management to start the response to the Agenda. In May 2015, it was announced that after a year-long process of evaluation, WMU’s Ph.D. and M.Sc. degrees in Maritime Affairs had been fully and unconditionally accredited for the 4

New University Premises State-of-the-art facilities for the World Maritime University were inaugurated on 19 May 2015 and the celebrations included a gathering of distinguished speakers and invitees from around the globe. The official ribbon-cutting at the entrance was done by IMO Secretary-General and WMU Chancellor, Mr. Koji Sekimizu, together with Mr. Erik Bromander, State Secretary to the Minister for Infrastructure, Ministry for Enterprise of Sweden, and Ms. Katrin Stjernfeldt-Jammeh, Chairman of the Malmö City Executive Board. Inside the building, Dr. Yohei Sasakawa, Chairman of the Nippon Foundation, Mr. Sekimizu, and WMU President Designate, Dr. Cleopatra Doumbia-Henry, cut the ribbon to declare open the new Sasakawa Auditorium. The new facilities of almost 6,000 square meters have essentially doubled WMU’s floor space offering immense opportunities to support the growth of the University with a new auditorium, multiple research labs, seminar rooms, and video-conferencing facilities. The WMU library, which houses an exceptional collection of maritime titles, has quadrupled in size, and vital collaborative spaces for students and faculty are located throughout the building. The City of Malmö provided WMU with the landmark Old Harbour Master’s Building, and through an architectural competition selected a dramatic extension wing completed by the renowned Danish architect Kim Utzon in collaboration with Australian architect Tyrone James Cobcroft of Cobcroft Architects. The new extension is a bold architectural statement that serves as an “urban hinge” between the historic city and the docklands. The move to the new facilities was supported by the generosity of several donors and the building was awarded the City of Malmö’s highest architecture prize, the stadsbyggnadspriset or City Building Prize as well as the Region Skåne Architecture Prize.

Overall, the students who joined WMU in 2015 represent 48 different countries and included a record enrolment of 38 women in the Malmö M.Sc. programme, or 33 per cent of the intake, up from 25 per cent in the previous year. A total of 57 fellowships for the Malmö M.Sc. programme were given by donors in 2015. All students enrolled in the programmes taught in Dalian and Shanghai and the distance-learning programme were fully funded, either by companies, governments or by the students themselves.
A total of 57 fellowships for the Malmö M.Sc. programme were given by donors in 2015, a small but significant increase compared with previous years: 53 in 2014, 54 in 2013 and 52 in 2012. IMO increased its support to 10 fellowships in 2015, compared with six fellowships in 2014. The Sasakawa Peace Foundation (formerly the Ocean Policy Research Foundation) of Japan continues to be the largest fellowship donor to the University. The 21 Sasakawa Fellows who joined the University in 2015 brought the total number sponsored by the Foundations of the Nippon Foundation to 553. The Nippon Foundation further supports the capacity-building mission of WMU by sponsoring three Professorial Chairs and an Assistant Professor as well as providing support for WMU conferences, most recently the International Maritime & Oceans Education & Training Symposium on 19 and 20 May 2015. The International Transport Workers’ Federation Seafarers’ Trust (the ITF Seafarers’ Trust) continues to be the second largest fellowship donor with five fellows joining WMU in 2015, bringing the total number of ITF Seafarers’ Trust Fellows to 108. The TK Foundation continues to support 4 new students each year. Many member States provide support by sponsoring their own students, especially, Argentina, Chile, China, Ecuador, Indonesia, Korea, Libya, Mexico, Nigeria, the Philippines and South Africa. The continued generosity of the fellowship donors is of great benefit to the University. In addition to the Ocean Policy Research Foundation/Sasakawa Peace Foundation, the ITF Seafarers’ Trust and the TK Foundation, WMU would like to thank; BP Shipping; the Orients Fond; Gard AS; the Governments of Denmark, the Federal Republic of Germany, and the Republic of Korea; the International Chamber of Shipping; the American Bureau of Shipping; the Lloyd’s Register Foundation; and the World Nuclear Transport Institute. In addition, students in the Malmö M.Sc. programme benefited from the generosity of field study host organizations in Argentina, Chile, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Italy, Republic of Korea, The Netherlands, Norway, The Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Sweden, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.
M.Sc. Programme This is the fifth consecutive year the enrolment target has been exceeded in the main Malmö-based M.Sc. programme, playing a significant role in WMU’s financial sustainability.The proportion of M.Sc. students (Malmö) who are funded by their employer, government, or from personal resources is a solid indicator of the University’s financial health. The ratio of non-donor funded students was 50 per cent, a slight downturn compared to 56 per cent in 2014 and 53 per cent in 2013. However, the steady overall proportion remained at around half the students enrolled in 2015, a significant improvement since 2007 when just 17 per cent of students were funded by employers, government, or from personal resources. wmu.se

Ph.D. Programme
United Nations Fellowship Programme
The revised structure of the Ph.D. programme and increased research and marketing efforts continued to advance the programme with three new Ph.D. registrations by highlyqualified candidates. Nine doctoral students have graduated to date. At the close of 2015, 28 Ph.D. students were registered at WMU. The Ph.D. and research programmes generate a net revenue stream and Ph.D. students are either self-funded or supported by research projects.
In 2015, the University welcomed its third DOALAS UN-Fellow, Mr. Ayo Fatubarin of Nigeria. The Fellowship Programme is organized by the Division for Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea (Office of Legal Affairs of the United Nations). The University looks forward to welcoming its fourth Fellow in 2016.
The success of the Ph.D. programme is providing the University with both an income stream from tuition fees and significantly increasing its publication and citation listings. In 2015, research generated funding that essentially covered research expenditures.
Co-operation with IMLI In the autumn of 2015, WMU and the IMO International Maritime Law Institute (IMLI), sister institutions founded by the International Maritime Organization, reached an agreement on co-operation on two new degree programmes. The joint Master of Philosophy (M.Phil.) programme in International Maritime Law and Ocean Policy will be launched in 2016, with the first intake planned for 2017. The unique, twoyear programme will offer students the chance to spend their first academic year in Malmö, following WMU’s specialization in Ocean Sustainability, Governance and Management (OSGM), and the second academic year in Malta, following IMLI’s LLM programme. The M.Phil. has been designed to provide a unique learning opportunity for maritime professionals who aim to shape the future of the world’s oceans in accordance with the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Graduates of the programme are expected to play an important role in developing national ocean governance policies to reflect the latest international initiatives, rules and regulations. IMLI and WMU also agreed to co-operate in the delivery of an LLM programme, offered by distance learning in association with Lloyd’s Maritime Academy. Work is currently underway in furthering this programme.
Distance Learning Programmes Introduced in 2005, Marine Insurance was WMU’s first distancelearning postgraduate diploma (PgDip), delivered in partnership with Lloyd’s Maritime Academy (LMA) and has continued to have steady enrolment since its inception. In 2014, Maritime Energy was launched in partnership with LMA as part of the PgDip portfolio and provides up-to-date analyses of current initiatives and future developments in energy efficient shipping. In 2015, through a partnership with DNV GL Maritime Academy, the PgDip in Executive Maritime Management was launched in September. The programme addresses current topics of critical importance in the maritime industry with a blended-learning approach to operational, commercial and technical issues. Also in 2015, WMU partnered with LMA to deliver the LLM in partnership with IMLI as well as the PgDip in International Maritime Law that was established by LMA in 2002.

Executive and Professional Development Courses The positive results of the 2013 major initiative to completely revise and update WMU’s short-term, non-degree Executive and Professional Development Courses (EPDCs) continues to be evidenced with 12 EPDCs delivered in 2015. The 2015 courses took place in Indonesia, Jordan, Malaysia, Myanmar, The Philippines and Sweden. In total, EPDCs were delivered to nine clients with 252 participants over 39 training days for a total of 404 training hours.
Research There are currently four research groups established at WMU; Maritime Education & Training, Human and Organizational Development (METHOD), Maritime Energy (MarEner), Marine Environmental Research (MER) and Maritime Risk and Safety (MaRiSa). The groups continued to be successful in drawing funding from a number of sources for research projects and consultancies. These projects enable the recruitment of research associates and research assistants, and the employment costs are met from research contracts. As a result of the research efforts, the University not only contributes valuable knowledge to the maritime community, but also benefits from an enhanced publication record, reputation and international impact. New projects in 2015 included: PROTRAAV, 2015 - 2016, Reserach and assessment of international policies, measures and strategies relating to abandoned vessels CORA, 2015 - 2016, Development and delivery of a course to M.Sc. students on corruption awareness SENSREC WP4, Part 1, 2015 - 2016, Safe and environmentally sound ship recycling in Bangladesh Transimos 2, 2015, LNG Master Programme establishing the content of a Master of Engineering Processes for Maritime Operations Hazid Exercise, 2015, Enhancement of safety of passenger ships providing domestic services and preparation of Hazard Identification (HAZID) exercise IMO Maritime Policy Training Course, 2015, Development of training programmes to help countries in the development, implementation and updating of national maritime policies International Shipping Policy & Shipping Finance in Greece, 2015 - 2016 Review of Proposed Draft Merchant Shipping Bill, Government of India, 2015, Preparation of Merchant Shipping Bill to replace the existing Act from 1958 Members of the Faculty continued to publish widely, including chapters in books, contributions to learned journals and conference proceedings, further enhancing the University’s academic status and reputation. The year 2015 marked the thirteenth year of the WMU Journal of Maritime Affairs (JoMA) which has been published by Springer Verlag since 2012. In 2014, a new section dedicated to the activities of the International Association of Maritime Universities (IAMU) was added. The main focus of the IAMU section is on Maritime Education and Training in line with the expertise of its member universities. JoMA has been extremely successful and its expanded global impact is noticeable. wmu.se
