Green Maritime Africa Coalition
Theme: Advancing Net-Zero Emissions and Maritime Resilience in Africa through Continental Collaboration
Overview:
GoGMI collaborates with the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency to host the Green Maritime Africa Coalition (GMAC). GMAC's mission is a shared continental initiative aimed at leading the global energy transition. By 2030, GMAC intends to provide zero-emission fuels for the maritime industry and implement them in both international and domestic shipping throughout Africa.
During the launch in November 2023, hosted by GoGMI, 37 stakeholders from the shipping industry, including the private sector, ship and port operators, fuel operators, and charterers, joined forces to advance the mission. The primary objective is to amplify Africa's collective voice in global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction efforts. GMAC aims to foster awareness, create opportunities, and implement concrete near and long-term actions for the continent.
The coalition places a strategic focus on maritime policy, capacity building, technology, financing, and skill development. The overarching goal is to collaborate with host governments and regional institutions, strengthening maritime policies, streamlining processes, and aligning with Africa's priorities for sustainable development and economic growth. This multi-faceted approach reflects GMAC's commitment to driving impactful change in the maritime sector across the continent.
Key Highlights:
