Diploma In Maritime Management

The Diploma in Maritime Management (DMM) is a specialized curriculum created to give students expertise about logistics, marine technology, and maritime operations and management. The courses offered in this program will fall into three categories: freight logistics, business management, and marine operations. It is anticipated that the launch of this program will meet the demands of the labor force that is already employed and those who wish to work in the marine sector. The Malaysia Shipping Masterplan 2017–2022, which highlights the necessity of developing indigenous marine specialists and services to assist Malaysian shipping, is also anticipated to be supported by this initiative.
