The German Maritime Institute
Who we are
The DMI is the German ‘first port of call’ for naval expertise and maritime perspectives. Counting in its ranks active and retired naval officers, officers from the maritime branch of the German Federal Police (‘coast guard’), ’captains’ of the maritime industry and organizations, academics, independent experts and analysts, the DMI, however, is not an academic think tank in a classic sense, but rather an informative forum.
DMI President
Traditionally, the President of the DMI is a retired flag officer while the Chairman is an admiral on active duty.
