Lloyd's Register Foundation supports postgraduate students with fully funded fellowships to pursue studies at the IMO International Maritime Legal Institute (IMLI) in Malta. Since our strategic partnership started over 20 years ago, 56 Foundation-funded maritime law experts have successfully graduated from IMLI, including 37 women and more than 21 from the African continent specifically.
The Foundation’s funding has helped ensure maritime professionals around the world have the skills required to prescribe IMO conventions into national law and uphold them effectively, improving safety at sea and building local legal expertise in emerging maritime economies.
We commissioned Makerchange Studios to produce an 8-part, global interview series, highlighting the careers of former Lloyd’s Register Foundation-funded graduates at the IMO’s International Maritime Law Institute.
These films celebrate the extraordinary impact these individuals have made on the ocean economy in their home nations, and explore the unique challenges faced by those who work at sea (and the communities they serve) in lower-middle-income countries and Small Island Developing States.
Together, we are building a formidable network of maritime legal specialists across the world. Here are their stories.
