Odessa

  • Overview

Our Odessa Branch includes a vast range of members including ship engineers, professors, lecturers and students. This branch, located in Ukraine, participates in the work of scientific and technical conferences and seminars. The Branch also often collaborates with the National University ‘Odessa Maritime Academy’ to raise awareness about the importance of the marine sector within the local area.

In addition to our collaboration with the National University 'Odessa Maritime Academy', the branch also has an ongoing partnership with the Marine Transport Workers' Trade Union of Ukraine. Furthermore, we have a strong partnership with Nikola Vaptsarov Naval Academy in Varna, Bulgaria, as well as Batumi Navigation Teaching University in Batumi, Georgia.

Anyone with an interest in marine engineering, science and technology is invited to get involved with this Branch.
