Kenya’s maritime and blue economy sector, with the potential to generate over Sh500 billion annually, remains largely untapped despite its vast opportunities. The recently launched Malindi Maritime Academy by Mount Kenya University (MKU) aims to bridge the gap in maritime training.

Leaders emphasized the sector’s potential to create jobs and grow the economy.
