Dedicated grape service for South Africa

COASTWISE CONNECT is being developed as South Africa’s first virtual community for maritime professionals, bringing together people across the entire ocean economy spectrum. It aims to unite South Africa’s fragmented maritime sector by creating a collaborative digital ecosystem where professionals at all career stages can connect, learn, grow, and collectively unlock the potential of our ocean economy.

In this webinar, WMU faculty will engage with Professor James Kraska, Chair and Charles H. Stockton Professor of International Maritime Law in the Stockton Center for International Law at the Naval War College, posing questions that explore the current state of international law as it applies to the Strait of Hormuz and comparable maritime chokepoints.

Tipping points in the Earth system are often portrayed as ominous, abrupt shifts that could significantly alter life on Earth. While this reflects the seriousness of the science, the framing can also create confusion and discourage action.

The Sixth SPAS will feature conference sessions, networking events and an international exhibition showcasing the latest naval equipment, technologies and solutions that will help our navies effectively protect Africa’s maritime interests. We sincerely look forward to welcoming you to this landmark symposium and working together to shape a safer, more cooperative maritime future for the continent.
