Creation of KMA with Tengizchevroil financial support
The Kazakhstan Maritime Academy was established in 2012 at Kazakh-British Technical University in Almaty. It was sponsored by company LLC Tengizchevroil from the very start. The prerequisites for the creation of the KMA were directly related to the strategic development of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Transportation of oil and other products across the Caspian Sea from Kazakhstan began several years ago. In addition, Kazakhstan was striving to become a maritime state, both in the Caspian region and beyond. Another important reason that prompted the creation of the Kazakhstan Maritime Academy was the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan “On Merchant Shipping”, according to which, by January 1, 2020, the senior officers (captains, chief officers, and chief engineers) sailing on ships under the Kazakhstan flag must be the citizens of Kazakhstan. The KMA was opened to meet international maritime standards and with the aim to eliminate the shortage of qualified seafarers in Kazakhstan.
Agreement on cooperation with STC-Group – a world leader in maritime educational and consulting services
In May 2012, KBTU signed an agreement with the Netherlands’ STC-Group. Under the Agreement the STC is responsible for day to day management of KMA by providing the faculty and staff among the best maritime professionals of the Netherlands. STC professionals train the cadets and provide consultations on related areas; simulators, engineering workshops and international legislations. They also arrange apprenticeships for KMA cadets on STC Group training vessel the Eendracht during the first year of studies. The STC Group has branches and subsidiaries and representative offices in the Sultanate of Oman, the Philippines, Indonesia, South Korea, Vietnam, South Africa, and Brazil.
