Kazakh Maritime Academy – Almaty

The Kazakhstan Maritime Academy (KMA), located in Almaty, Kazakhstan, is an initiative by Tengizchevroil (a consortium of oil companies), the Kazakh British University and the STC Group. The KMA was founded to meet the increasing demand for well-educated and qualified seafarers for the growing tanker fleet operating in the Caspian Sea, the Black Sea and other seas.
