Training to be provided at Abu Dhabi Maritime Academy’s Musaffah campus
Emirates Global Aluminium and Abu Dhabi Ports have partnered together to train UAE nationals for roles in shipping and logistics at the two companies.
Abu Dhabi Ports will oversee the training at the Abu Dhabi Maritime Academy, its dedicated regional centre for excellence in maritime and logistics education based in Musaffah.
The academy which opened in 2014, equips and qualifies future marine cadets with the relevant skills and expertise needed to enjoy a rich and fulfilling career within the shipping and logistics industry.
EGA runs one of the largest shipping and logistics operations of any UAE business, moving some 23 million tonnes of raw materials around the world and making some 10,000 shipments of metal to customers in over 50 countries each year.
“Abu Dhabi Maritime Academy is committed to empowering UAE nationals through the best logistics training programmes available on the market,” remarked Captain Maktoum Al Houqani, Managing Director, Abu Dhabi Maritime Academy.
“Shipping and logistics is a key enabler for EGA’s business as well as our broader economy. This partnership with Abu Dhabi Ports will help us develop more young people to take roles in this challenging and important field,“ commented Abdulnasser Bin Kalban, Chief Executive Officer, EGA.
