Abstract:
The Maritime Institute was established in 1984 with the following objectives:
  • to conduct legal and multidisciplinary research with focus on oceans and related activities (shipping, ports, fisheries, marine spatial planning, etc.);
  • to support education in the field of the law of the sea, marine environmental law, port and maritime sciences;
  • to organise workshops, conferences and symposia;
  • to provide consultancy to non-academic actors, such as governments, non-governmental organisations and the private sector.


In terms of research, the Maritime Institute is specialised in law of the sea (shipping, maritime security, pollution, coastal/port/flag state jurisdiction, exploitation of natural resources, coastal zone management, offshore renewable energy, marine protected areas, etc.), international and European environmental and biodiversity law, port economics and policy, maritime economics, marine spatial planning and interdisciplinary research. Throughout the years, members of the Maritime Institute have been involved in strategic legal research and the drafting of legislation supported by the Federal and Flemish government, as well as international policy relevant research projects. In terms of education, the Maritime Institute organises the annual post-academic Port Management course series and the advanced inter-university master program MSc in Maritime Science.
