Fiji Maritime Academy To Change Name

The Fiji Maritime Academy will soon change its school name to Pacific Center for Maritime Studies.

This name change comes as the Acting Director Captain Tevita Robanakadavu plans the way forward for Fiji’s maritime training landscape.

Captain Robanakadavu said the name change was one of three key recommendations he presented to the Senior Leadership team at the Fiji National University.

“The new name for the school has been approved by the subcommittee to the FNU council which is chaired by the Vice-Chancellor,” Captain Robanakadavu said.

It shifted to its current location at Laucala Bay in 1982.

In January 2014, the School was re-branded to the “Fiji Maritime Academy”.

FMA has been providing Maritime Training to the Seafarers of Fiji as well as nationals from the South Pacific region.
