KMI started in 1984, comprehensively and systematically investigating and researching the full range of problems related to the marine and fisheries sector, including the oceans, marine products, ocean shipping & maritime affairs, and port logistics. As a result, KMI has grown into a major research institution in the maritime and fisheries fields. The Korea Maritime Institute (KMI) has emerged as an international research institute in the world. KMI directly invests in five or more international research centers around the world in maritime research and fisheries; it has international exchanges and cooperation with 24 international university partners, eight international research institutes (including UNDP UNESCAPE, OECD, IMO, Arctic Frontiers, UNCTAD, ILTOS), and 16 public agents. KMI envisioned to scale up to research on maritime supply chains, logistics, and marine science in North America. NJCU is situated in the economic, social, and political center of North America. The location and facility of NJCU is valuable and resourceful to the KMI to achieve its strategic goals.
