Maine Maritime Academy and the In- ternational Association of Maritime and Port Executives Sign Memorandum of Understanding for Certifi cation CASTINE—The Loeb-Sullivan Graduate School of International Business and Lo- gistics at Maine Maritime Academy and the International Association of Maritime and Port Executives (IAMPE) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding agreeing to work together on professional develop- ment for the maritime and port industry. Under the MOU, MMA and the IAMPE will acknowledge and endorse each other’s programs, maintaining the highest profes- sional standards of education and training. The IAMPE will provide a professional certification as Maritime Port Manager (MPM) to MMA students for successfully completing the graduate program. In es- sence, MMA graduate students will earn both the Master’s of Science degree as well as the MPM certifi cation. IAMPE members who independently complete the IAMPE certifi cation can receive academic credit towards the graduate degree at MMA. The IAMPE will also share its research and elec- tronic library with MMA as well as course content for the Maritime Port Management and Maritime Port Executive Certifi cation- sTM. Both organizations will promote each other’s programs to benefi t professionals in the industry. They will work together to de- velop new programs and undertake research as appropriate to improve off erings to the global industry. “We are very pleased to be working with
Maine Maritime Academy in this important eff ort and look forward to expanding the professional development goals of both of our organizations,” said Capt. F. Bradley Wellock, MM, CMPE, and Chairman of the IAMPE Board of Advisors. “This is a great opportunity for the
Master’s degree logistic programs at MMA to provide additional value to our students as well as to contribute to education of maritime and port professionals worldwide. Working with the IAMPE will enhance our eff ort and commitment to advancing global standards in the maritime and port industry,” explained Dr. Donald Maier, Dean of the Loeb-Sullivan School. The Loeb-Sullivan Graduate School
of International Business and Logistics at Maine Maritime Academy has two accred- ited M.S. degree programs: the On Campus experience in Global Logistics & Maritime Management and the Online M.S. degree in International Logistics Management, designed for the working professional. Both programs are similar in content, but are dis- tinctly diff erent in presentation. The Online program is 100% online with no requirement for campus residency, although all students can access the same instructional, support, research materials, and tools as the On Cam- pus cohort. The International Association of Mari- time and Port Executives is a non-profi t in- dustry association that provides professional certifi cation internationally for maritime and port professionals.
