Arab Academy for Science, Technology & Maritime Transport
الأكاديمية العربية للعلوم والتكنولوجيا والنقل البحريThe Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport´s Overview
Establishing the Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport (AASTMT) as a Regional Institute for Maritime Transport started as a notion in the Arab League Transport Committee”s meetings on 11th of March, 1970. This notion came after the Arab League’s Council issued, in its fifty third session, decree no. 2631/1970 stipulating the endorsement of founding a regional center for Maritime Transport training. The decree commissioned the Arab Republic of Egypt, on behalf of all the Arab countries, to ask for a technical aid from the United Nations’ organizations specialized in the field of maritime transport.

The AASTMT started its activity in a temporary location in Alexandria (1) on 28th of February, 1972. A five-year technical aid of 2.3 million dollars was allocated to the project in the form of experts, delegations and training equipment. The project, then, got a two-year extension with fund raising to $3.6 million.
The Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport (AASTMT).
Over five years (from 1991 to 1996), the educational and maritime training services excelled through the continuous Egyptian Ministry of Transport funding. Consequently in 1992, the AASTMT was granted the most modern training ship, “Aida 4”, as a donation from the Japanese government. This achievement on the part of the AASTMT has contributed to the ARE’s achievement in the field of supporting maritime education and training.
