6.1 Enrolment trends in MET institutions evaluating and predicting future seafarer supply. These trends provide will meet the demands of the maritime industry. Monitoring enrolment Today, Africa's population in the countries studied reflects vast potential for maritime (68.6 million), South Africa (64 million), Kenya (56.4 million), Ghana (34.4 million) and Namibia (3 million) (World Population Review, 2024). Data from MET institutions in robust participation in maritime training programmes. Conversely, Namibia, Kenya, Ghana enhanced outreach. The geographical distribution of MET students as depicted in While South Africa and Tanzania currently outnumber the rest, institutions in Namibia, Kenya, Ghana and Nigeria hold significant potential for growth.
