The Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers (ICS) is proud to announce that its long-standing partner, Abu Dhabi Maritime Academy (ADMA), has officially been accredited as an International Teaching Centre (ITC). 

This recognition follows a comprehensive audit led by Krishnan Subramaniam FICS, Vice Chairman of ICS, and Ali Canani FICS, Chairman of the ICS Middle East Branch. The achievement marks a significant milestone for ADMA, solidifying its role as a hub for professional maritime education in the Middle East region.

“The ADMA team is fully deserving of this recognition,” said Krishnan Subramaniam FICS. “Their dedication to quality education and professional development in the maritime sector has been evident throughout our long-standing partnership. We are excited about the new opportunities this accreditation will unlock across the Middle East maritime network.”
