Aims & Scope

The WMU Journal of Maritime Affairs (JOMA) is an internationally peer-reviewed journal that covers a wide range of maritime-related subject areas, such as ‘maritime administration and management’, ‘maritime safety and sustainability’, ‘maritime law and regulations’, ‘maritime education and human resources’, ‘maritime business and economics’, and ‘marine environment protection’, and gives special attention to human factors, impacts of technology, and policy-making in those subject contexts. JOMA is for academics, researchers and professionals in the maritime industry. It aims at serving the international maritime community by presenting current thinking and evidence-based arguments on those subjects of topical interest, reporting on relevant research findings and addressing inter-relationships among those subjects in a multi-disciplinary manner to improve the efficacy of maritime transport.
