About PMAESA

The Port Management Association of Eastern and Southern Africa (PMAESA) was first established as the Port Management Association of Eastern Africa, in Mombasa, Kenya, on April 1973, under the auspices of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA), following a recommendation made at a meeting of the African Ministers in charge of transport, held in Tunisia in February 1971.

Two other Associations, covering the North African Ports Association (UAPNA), and the Port Management Association of West and Central Africa (PMAWCA) were also created, with similar objectives.
