Seafaring history and traditions
“Historically, Georgia is a maritime state of the Mediterranean and Black Sea basins, due to its geographical features and the role of its international relations.
On January 20, 1967, the foundation of the Georgian Shipping Company was laid. The headquarters of the shipping company were housed in Batumi and the key base of the company was its fleet. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union, Georgia established ocean fishing farms in Poti and Sokhumi, and, most importantly, Georgia’s shipping company which included about 60 different types of vessels including tankers and cruise ships.
Georgian Maritime education takes its roots in Poti Maritime Class founded in 1860. Batumi Naval College was established in 1921 (BSMA) and it became the member of the International Association of Maritime Universities (IAMU) in 2006.”
