Maritime students have a reason to smile after industry regulator, the Kenya Maritime Authority, and the Higher Education Loans Board (HELB) signed a contract to establish Kenya’s first Maritime Education and Training Financial Support Scheme.
The scheme will support capacity building in the blue economy sector by providing financial assistance in line with the Merchant Shipping Act, 2009.
Principal Secretary, State Department of Shipping and Maritime Affairs Nancy Karigithu, who witnessed the signing of the contract at the KMA headquarters in Mombasa, said the move paved way for KMA to offer financial support to qualifying beneficiaries under the scheme.
