The GNM Initiative

Funded by the European Union (EU) and implemented by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the Global MTTC Network (GMN) is formally titled “Capacity Building for Climate Change Mitigation in the Maritime Shipping Industry”. This initiative establishes and unites Maritime Technologies Cooperation Centres (MTCCs) from five regions into one global network.

The five target regions are Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, Latin America and the Pacific which were selected on account of the many developing countries, especially Least Developed Countries and Small Island Developing States located therein.

MTCC Africa's Vision is "To be part of the Global Network of Centres of Excellence promoting the uptake of low carbon technologies and energy efficient practices in the maritime and shipping industry"
