Kenya and South Korea have launched fresh efforts to upgrade the training of seafarers in various institutions in the country.

Maritime stakeholders last week welcomed a joint delegation from South Korea to the Kenya Maritime Authority (KMA) as the maritime industry regulator, and various training institutions at the Coast to assess the infrastructure and equipment and discuss the implementation of the Advanced Maritime Education and Training System (AMETS) in Kenya project.
