About us
Haiti Maritime Administration
The Haiti Maritime Administration (HMA) is the national authority responsible for regulating and overseeing Haiti's maritime and port-related activities. Situated in the heart of the Caribbean, Haiti maintains key seaports—such as Port-au-Prince, Cap-Haïtien, and Les Cayes—that play a critical role in regional and international trade, logistics, and maritime transport. The HMA's mandate is to ensure safe, secure, and efficient maritime operations, promote environmental stewardship, and implement international standards that strengthen Haiti's presence in the global maritime sector.
Our Mission
The Administration's mission is to enhance navigational safety, protect the marine environment, and foster sustainable maritime development across Haiti's territorial waters and ports. HMA works to strengthen compliance with national laws and international conventions while supporting innovation, modernization, and transparent governance in the maritime sector.
Through digital certification, inspection systems, and strategic collaboration with port authorities, the Haiti Maritime Administration ensures reliability and integrity in every aspect of maritime operation and oversight.
