The Regional Maritime University (RMU), Ghana, formerly the Regional Maritime Academy, is an international tertiary institution established in 1983. The RMU attained “university” status on the 25th of October, 2007 when it was launched as such by its founding members: The Republics of Cameroon, The Gambia, Ghana, Liberia and Sierra Leone.

The Board of Governors is the principal policy-making body of the RMU. Currently, the Republic of Liberia chairs the Board (2008-2010), and is represented by Commissioner Binyah C.

They are guided by the vision that the University, “within the next decade, will be known and recognized as the tertiary institution of first choice in advanced maritime education and training, research and consultancy in Africa and beyond”.
The University is dedicated to the continual development of human capital in the maritime industry, especially in the sub-region, and has trained thousands of personnel for the maritime and allied industries.
