Korea Maritime Institute (KMI)
The Korea Maritime Institute(KMI) was established under the Prime Minister’s Office as a government-funded research institute affiliated with the National Research Council for Economics, Humanities, and Social Sciences. Our mission is to contribute to the development of national maritime and fisheries policies and the advancement of the national economy.
Since its inception in 1984, KMI has grown into a national policy research institute that conducts comprehensive and systematic research on all maritime-related fields, including oceans, fisheries, shipping, maritime affairs, ports, international logistics, and fishing communities.
The ocean plays a crucial role in maintaining the Earth’s ecosystem, providing abundant resources including seafood, and serving as a critical conduit for global trade. In recent years, its significance has been growing amid climate change, the rapidly shifting international economic and security order, and the acceleration of technological innovation. At a time when the ocean is emerging as a core asset for national development, it is imperative to accurately understand the value of the ocean, the challenges we face, and the changes in both domestic and global environments surrounding maritime affairs. Based on this understanding, it is KMI’s mission to set strategic goals and develop concrete action plans. In this era of great transformation, we will contribute to Korea’s leap forward as a global maritime powerhouse by resolving pressing maritime and fisheries issues, generating new growth engines through the blue economy, supporting livelihoods and economic recovery, and proactively responding to national maritime and fisheries challenges.
