WMU moved into Malmö city earlier this month and KSA’s donation will be used to furbish the university’s cafeteria which has now been named KSA Hall.
KSA said it maintains strong relationships with WMU as more than 80 Korean shipping professionals have graduated from the university. The alumni includes Ki-tack Lim, president of the Busan Port Authority and a current candidate for the role of IMO secretary general, as well as Young-moo Kim who is the current secretary general of the Federation of Korean Maritime Industries.
