Who we are
Africa’s Maritime & Logistics Academy, powered by Antwerp
AMLA was created by a team with decades of hands on maritime and logistics experience, in Antwerp and across Africa: Nigeria, Guinea, the DRC, Ghana, East Africa and beyond.
We believe world-class training should not be a privilege of geography. Our academy makes international standards accessible wherever you are on the continent.
