The International Group of P&I Clubs is pleased to award a fifth Fellowship at the IMO International Maritime Law Institute (IMLI).
The Group’s Education Committee is thrilled to offer the fellowship to an outstanding candidate for the upcoming academic year. The Fellowship for 2025-2026, which supports Master of Laws (LL.M) studies in International Maritime Law at IMLI in Malta, has been awarded to Ms. Zaituni Abdalla from Tanzania.
The International Group is delighted that Ms. Zaituni Abdalla, a State Attorney at the Attorney General’s Chambers in Tanzania, has accepted the fellowship.
By offering the IMLI Fellowship, the Group enhances accessibility to IMLI’s postgraduate degree courses and underscores the Group’s commitment to education and knowledge sharing globally. This initiative aligns with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals 4 (Promoting inclusive quality education) and 8 (Lifelong learning opportunities).
Chris Adie, Chair of the IG Education Committee commented:
“We are delighted to offer this fellowship to study at IMLI to Ms. Zaituni Abdalla from Tanzania. She is an outstanding candidate. The International Group looks forward to our engagement with Ms. Zaituni Abdalla and the assistance that we can provide as she undertakes her LL.M programme to further her knowledge of international maritime law and thereafter when she returns to Tanzania.”
IMLI was established with the support of the IMO and is a world-recognised centre for the training of specialists in international maritime law. IMLI provides suitably-qualified candidates, particularly from developing countries, with advanced training, study and research programmes in the field.
