WMU’s mission is to be the World Centre of excellence in postgraduate maritime and oceans education, professional training, and research, while building global capacity and sustainable development.

Message from the Chancellor WMU’s global influence remains unsurpassed among maritime education and training institutions, because of the ties to the International Maritime Organization, as well as the high quality of the WMU education. In just over three decades, many WMU graduates have risen to positions of significant influence throughout the maritime world. The global reach of WMU, and the unique and powerful network it encompasses, cannot be overemphasized.

WMU remains a cornerstone of IMO’s global maritime education and training capacity-building strategy, and the University is entering a new era. In 2015, WMU will move into splendid new facilities, and will welcome a new President, Dr. Cleopatra Doumbia-Henry. In addition, the scope of the University’s mission will continue to expand to encompass oceans governance issues emphasizing sustainability globally as well as for the maritime sector.

I was delighted to announce the theme of this year’s World Maritime Day - “Maritime education and training”- to WMU’s Class of 2015. Effective standards of training remain the bedrock of a safe and secure shipping industry, which needs

to preserve the quality, practical skills and competence of qualified human resources. We must ensure there is sufficient quantity and quality available in maritime education and training to meet the sector’s needs, now and into the future.

The sustainability of WMU must also be taken into account to support post-graduate training that maintains a cadre of high-level managers, policy makers and other key maritime personnel. The benefits of the education provided by WMU are not limited to the students or the countries they come from, but extend to those whose livelihood or business depend on international seaborne trade. WMU is an integral part of the system of global governance established for international shipping, a system which, over many decades, has succeeded in making shipping safer, more secure, more efficient, and less impact on the environment; a system that provides for the sustainable future of an industry which is vital to our global society.

As both Secretary-General of IMO and Chancellor of WMU, I am grateful to the long-standing donors and supporters who advance the maritime capacity-building mission of WMU that shapes the lives of maritime professionals across the globe. I strongly urge willing States and shipping industry stakeholders to contact WMU to offer support for this important mission.

Charting Progress

Message from the Acting President Well into our third decade, WMU is continuing its maritime capacity building mission to operate from a sound academic and financial footing. Student enrolment has exceeded expectations from 2010 onwards and for the fourth consecutive year, there was a financial surplus that will strengthen the financial reserves.

The programmes in China and the Ph.D. program continue to see steady growth, and during 2014, research generated a healthy revenue stream for the University. The first Maritime Energy postgraduate diploma students enrolled in the new distance learning programme, and a new postgraduate diploma in Executive Maritime Management was announced. Expanding our support to the greater maritime community, our Executive and Professional Development Courses and Maritime Women: Global Leadership Conference made a significant impact.

We have continued to set the bar high for support of female maritime professionals. The proportion of female students holds steady at around a quarter of the annual intake, and almost a quarter of WMU faculty are female. The International Conference, Maritime Women: Global Leadership, brought together 265 women and men from 74 countries to discuss the advancement of women in maritime professions, and inspired women in the Class of 2014 to establish the WMU Women’s

Association (WMUWA) to support the advancement of female maritime professionals worldwide.

It was with great sadness that the WMU community learned of the passing of Captain Donald M. Waters, Rector of the World Maritime University from 1990-1996, who passed away in Inverness, Scotland on 3 June at the age of 85. He was a rare individual who was able to make a profound impact on the maritime professions in his home country, and beyond, through his contribution to WMU. His passion and dedication for maritime training and education have greatly benefited the global maritime community. He will be greatly missed.

Construction on our new facilities in the heart of Malmö continued throughout 2014 and the University will relocate to the splendid new building in April of 2015. We are grateful to the City of Malmö for their generosity and look forward to advancing our maritime capacity building mission in our state-of-the-art facilities, and expanding our focus to encompass an oceans agenda that contributes to the marine environment and sustainable development goals on oceans as well as the achievement of the UN Post-2015 Development Agenda.

Financial sustainability for the University is still an issue of concern, despite the clear progress that has been made with a steady increase in the proportion of M.Sc. students (Malmö campus) who are funded by their employer, government, or from personal resources. We thank our long-standing donors and welcome the opportunity to discuss with other industry stakeholders how they can contribute to the sustainability of WMU and secure the future of the maritime leaders of tomorrow.

It has been a pleasure to serve as Acting President since May 2014. I thank Dr. Bjorn Kjerfve for his dedication and service to WMU during his five years as President, and I look forward to welcoming our new President, Dr. Cleopatra Doumbia-Henry, to the helm of the University.

Governance and Management The Board of Governors met in Malmö on 5 May 2014, and the Executive Board met three times in 2014, on 12 March, 12 September, and 5 December. During 2014, the University management implemented many of the steps set in place by the Governors regarding aligning WMU employment conditions with those in the United Nations (UN) system in general. Alignments under development include After-Service Health Insurance, and the UN pension plan that would provide a remuneration package beneficial to attracting international faculty.

The University has engaged in the revision of subordinate legislation, to bring this into line with the provisions of the new Charter, which took effect from 1 January 2010. A Working Group was established, which has redrafted the General Management Statute, the Interpretation Statute and the Programmes and Awards Statute. The revisions were approved by the Governing Boards in 2013, and the University will now continue to revise all the Regulations and Rules, to ensure that these are aligned with the Charter and Statutes.

In April 2014, Sweden’s Ministry of Education and Research issued formal confirmation of WMU’s status and power to confer degrees in Sweden. It was a significant step in the international recognition of the University. WMU also started the process of seeking accreditation from ZEVA (Zentrale Evaluations- und Akkreditierungsagentur Hannover, or the Central Evaluation and Accreditation Agency, Hanover). The results will be known in mid-2015.

Two new Professorial Chairs were signed into effect during 2014. On 2 November, an Agreement was signed between WMU and the Government of India establishing the Indian Chair in Port Management that provides a full Professorial Chair for a five-year period. On 12 December, the Minutes of Agreement for the establishment of a Korean Professorial Chair in Shipping and Port Management were signed with the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries (MOF) providing for a nonfixed term Korean Professorial Chair. In addition, the Agreement provides for fellowships for members of the MOF staff to study in the Malmö M.Sc. programme. This now brings the number of sponsored Chairs to a total of seven with the continued, long-term support of the donors who provide the Inmarsat Chair, the Canadian Chair, the three Nippon Foundation Chairs, and a Nippon Foundation Assistant Professor. The generosity of these benefactors promotes the capacity building mission of WMU with high calibre academics who shape the minds of, and inspire, the maritime leaders of tomorrow.

Throughout 2014, the Working Group on the Study on the Financial Sustainability of the World Maritime University, established by the Secretary-General, continued to meet. The final Report will be presented to the Board of Governors in 2015.​ In 2014, the Governing Boards approved the Development Plan 2014-18 and the Business Plan 2015-2016.

New University Premises In 2010, the City of Malmö agreed to provide the University with new premises. Tornhuset, an important Malmö landmark building dating from 1910, was originally the headquarters of the Malmö Harbour Administration and will become the new home of WMU in April 2015. An extension to the historic building was designed by the Danish architect Kim Utzon, in collaboration with his Australian partner, Tyrone James Cobcroft. The City of Malmö has generously borne the direct and indirect costs of the provision of these outstanding new premises including the design and construction of the extension, the lease itself and all costs of maintenance, repairs and operations.

An on-going campaign to provide the building with state-of-theart IT and other equipment continued to attract donations in 2014 and by the end of the year, the donations secured were sufficient to cover the necessary costs. The result is that the University will not have to directly bear any costs for the move to the new premises.

Taught Programme Enrolments The 2014 intake of 111 students to the Malmö-based M.Sc. programme continued to exceed the annual intake target of 100 students that was set in 2009. A total of 105 students joined the 14-month program and an additional six students joined the accelerated program. This is the fourth consecutive year the enrolment target has been exceeded in the main Malmö-based M.Sc. programme, contributing a significant role in ensuring WMU’s future financial sustainability.

The proportion of M.Sc. students (Malmö) who are funded by their employer, government, or from personal resources is a solid indicator of the University’s financial health.

The ratio increased to 56 per cent in 2014 as compared to 53 per cent in 2013. There has been a steady annual improvement since 2007 when just 17 per cent of students were funded by

employers, government, or personal resources. All students enrolled in the programmes taught in Dalian and Shanghai and the distance-learning programme were fully funded, either by companies, governments or by the students themselves.

A total of 53 fellowships for the Malmö M.Sc. programme were given by donors in 2014, which is fairly steady compared to 54 in 2013 and 52 in 2012. IMO provided six fellowship awards in 2014 under its Integrated Technical Cooperation Programme.

The Ocean Policy Research Foundation of Japan continues to be the largest fellowship donor to the University. The 22 fellows in the Class of 2014 brought the total number of graduates sponsored by the Ocean Policy Research Foundation to 533.

The total number of Japanese-funded graduates is 543. The Nippon Foundation further supports the capacity-building mission of WMU by sponsoring three Professorial Chairs and an Assistant Professor as well as support for WMU conferences, most recently the Maritime Women: Global Leadership International Conference on 31 March – 1 April 2014.

The International Transport Workers’ Federation Seafarers’ Trust (the ITF Seafarers’ Trust) continues to be the second largest fellowship donor with three graduates in the Class of 2014 bringing the total number of ITF Seafarers’ Trust Fellows to 103. Many Member States provide support by sponsoring their own students, especially, Argentina, Chile, China, Indonesia, Korea, Mexico, Nigeria, South Africa, and the Philippines, which moved from being a recipient of donor funding to sponsoring students with two fellowships from the Maritime Industry Authority (MARINA) in 2014 and one from the Philippine Coast Guard.

The continued generosity of the following fellowship donors is of great benefit to the University: the Ocean Policy Research Foundation; the ITF Seafarers’ Trust; the TK Foundation; BP Shipping; Gard AS; the Governments of the Federal Republic of Germany, the Republic of Korea and the United Kingdom; the American Bureau of Shipping; the Lloyd’s Register Foundation; and the World Nuclear Transport Institute. In addition, students in the Malmö M.Sc. program benefited from the generosity of field study host organizations in Canada, Chile, Denmark, Egypt, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Korea, Malta, The Netherlands, Philippines, Portugal, Singapore, Sweden, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.

Ph.D. Programme The revised structure of the Ph.D. programme and increased research and marketing efforts continued to advance the programme with three new Ph.D. registrations by highlyqualified candidates. Nine doctoral students have graduated to date. At the close of 2014, 24 Ph.D. students were registered at WMU. The Ph.D. and research programmes generate a net revenue stream and Ph.D. students are either self-funded or supported by research projects.

The success of the Ph.D. programme is providing the University with both an income stream from tuition fees and significantly increasing its publication and citation listings. In 2014, research generated funding exceeded USD 2 million and essentially covered research expenditures.

operational, commercial and technical issues. The first courses for the programme will commence in September 2015.

United Nations Fellowship Programme In 2013, the University welcomed its first UN-Nippon Foundation Fellow, Mr Famara Drammeh of Gambia. The Fellowship Programme which is organized by the Division for Ocean Affairs and the Law of the Sea (Office of Legal Affairs of the United Nations). The University welcomed its second DOALOS Fellow in 2014, Ms Mariam Rita Fawole of São Tome & Principe, holder of the Hamilton Shirley Amerasinghe Memorial Fellowship, and will welcome a third, again a UN-NF Fellow in 2015.

Postgraduate Diploma Programmes

Executive and Professional Development Courses

Introduced at WMU in 2005, Marine Insurance was WMU’s first distance-learning postgraduate diploma (PgDip) and has continued to have steady enrolment since its inception. In 2014, Maritime Energy was launched as part of the PgDip portfolio and provides up-to-date analyses of current initiatives and future developments in energy efficient shipping. A partnership with DNV GL Maritime Academy was announced in 2014 to offer a PgDip in Executive Maritime Management. The programme addresses current topics of critical importance in the maritime industry with a blended-learning approach to

The positive results of the 2013 major initiative to completely revise and update WMU’s short-term, non-degree Executive and Professional Development Courses (EPDCs) were evidenced in 2014 as customised executive courses continued to increase with a total of 24 EPDCs in comparison with 13 in 2013. Several of the 2014 courses took place in Malmö as well as Colombia, Djibouti, Egypt, Finland, Germany, Russia, and Somalia. In total, EPDCs were delivered to eight clients with 450 participants over 126 training days for a total of 731 training hours.

Research There are currently three research groups established at WMU; Maritime Risk and Safety (MaRiSa), Maritime Energy, and Marine Environmental. The groups continued to be successful in drawing funding from a number of sources for research projects and consultancies. These projects require the employment of research associates and research assistants to complete the work, and the employment costs are met from research contracts. As a result of the research efforts, the University not only contributes valuable knowledge to the maritime community, but also benefits from an enhanced publication record, reputation, and international impact. New projects in 2014 included: • BMSP Oil Spill Forum, 2014 - 2016, Baltic Marine Science Park’s oil spill contingency platform for information sharing in the Baltic Sea. • D-2 Study, 2014 - 2015, Study on implementation of Ballast Water Performance Standard in Regulation D-2 of BWM Convention.

Conferences Maritime Women: Global Leadership (MWGL) took place in Malmö from 31 March – 1 May 2014 bringing together 265 women and men from 74 countries to discuss the advancement of women in maritime professions. The conference was delivered in cooperation with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and built on the 2008 conference hosted by WMU that focused on empowering maritime women. With a focus on research, and with male and female participants from so many regions around the globe, from so many areas of the maritime sector, MWGL was a particularly unique and powerful event.

Women in the Class of 2014 were inspired to form the WMUWA by the MWGL Conference. By increasing the involvement of WMU women in the maritime industry, the Association aims to support the welfare of the WMU female community as well as female maritime professionals globally and to provide an annual fellowship for a female student. In support of that goal, in 2014, one of the IMO-funded fellowships was allocated for the WMUWA and awarded to a student in the Class of 2015 from Viet Nam. The Joint Group of Experts on the Scientific Aspects of Marine Environmental Protection (GESAMP) held their 41st session at WMU from 1-4 September 2014. Established in 1969, GESAMP is an advisory body that advises the United Nations (UN) system on the scientific aspects of marine environmental protection. Each year, the partner UN agencies of GESAMP alternate hosting the annual meetings. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) was this year’s host agency and recommended the meetings be held at WMU.

Graduation On Sunday, 2 November, WMU’s Chancellor and SecretaryGeneral of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), Mr. Koji Sekimizu, conferred postgraduate degrees on the World Maritime University’s Class of 2014. In total, 124 students graduated in the Malmö Class of 2014, 47 from the M.Sc. program in Dalian, China, 36 from the M.Sc. program in Shanghai, China, and 19 from the distance-learning Postgraduate Diploma in Marine Insurance. Overall, the graduates in the Class of 2014 represented 49 countries, and this graduation ceremony brought the total number of WMU graduates to 3,923 from 165 countries.

The 2014 graduation ceremony marked a significant milestone in capacity building for South Africa with 23 graduates from the Republic of South Africa, all of whom were sponsored by the South African Government.

Guests of Honour included Dr. Anne Christine Brusendorff, General Secretary for the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea, and Dr. Blade Nzimande, Minister of Higher Education and Training for the Republic of South Africa.

The degree of Doctor of Science in Maritime Affairs, honoris causa, was conferred on Dr. Charles Cushing, President, C.R. Cushing & Co, for his exceptional service to the University since 1986 as a Visiting and Adjunct Professor, teaching both in Malmö and Dalian.

The financial outcome for 2014 reported total revenue of USD 15.6 million and total expenses of USD 14.5 million with a surplus of USD 1.07 million. This represents an increase as compared to the previous financial period, attributed to (1) increased revenue from fellowships and fees due to the higher number of students (2) cost saving efforts and (3) currency exchange rate savings due to the strengthening of the USD against the SEK. * The higher number is due to internal cost mechanisms introduced from 2014 to reflect support activities by operational unit.

Economic Impact Study In 2002 Inregia AB performed a study to evaluate and quantify the World Maritime University’s economic impact on the local, regional and national economy. In 2014, WSP Analysis & Strategy was commissioned by the World Maritime University to perform an updated study, the result of which aimed to replicate the 2002 study as closely as possible for comparison purposes.

Summarized key findings included: • The direct, associated and indirect effects of WMU generated SEK 91 million of Malmö Region’s GRP and 120 million of Sweden’s GDP in 2013, compared with 82 million in direct budget expenditures.

• The GDP multiplier is estimated at 2.2 in 2013, compared to 2.1 in 2002, which remains significantly greater than the Swedish average if all industries are included. The University’s relative importance in the economy, remains on a similar level.

• Direct employment of WMU was 53 full time employees in 2013, and the presence of WMU generates a total of 148 full time employments in the Malmö Region.

• The Swedish government finances WMU’s activities with approximately SEK 25 million each year, and collects about the same amount in tax revenues through income taxes.

The absolute majority of tax revenues are municipal. The largest national tax bases are sales tax (VAT), social security contributions and various other excise taxes.

• Malmö City subsidies, such as bus passes and facility rental support, are valued at approximately SEK 13 million in 2013. For Malmö, this subsidy is returned in city income tax revenue alone – notwithstanding other regional economic effects.

10

www.wmu.se

The analysis showed that “the WMU operations generate additional effects in the local and regional economy with a multiplier of between 1.7 and 2.8 depending on which types of effects are calculated. The GDP and GRP-effects are approximately twice the size of the resources used to operate the university. The employment multiplier is 2.8, meaning that each person employed at WMU generates employment for almost another two people in the region. By Swedish national standards, this is a relatively high number, associated with knowledge intensive organisations and operations and is high in a national context.”

Staff transitions New members of faculty who took up their posts in 2014 included Dr. Aref Fakhry and Dr. Yoshinobu Takei as Associate Professors, Dr. Dimitrios Dalaklis of Greece as Assistant Professor, and LCDR Jarrod DeWitz as a Lecturer seconded from the United States Coast Guard. Peter Marriott of the United Kingdom joined the Registry as the Assistant Registrar, Student Records.

Dr. Björn Kjerfve resigned as President and took up a new post as the Chancellor of the American University of Sharjah.

Further, Professor Proshanto K. Mukherjee retired, and LCDR Erin Williams concluded her secondment from the United States Coast Guard as a Lecturer. Staff members who left WMU to pursue other opportunities included Registrar Ton Smaal.

The University continued to strengthen its cohort of Research Associates with the appointments of Fabio Ballini of Italy, Josefin Madjidian of Sweden, and Gesa Praetorius of Germany, and Research Assistant Armando Graziano of Italy.
