The Society of Masters Mariners South Africa (SOMMSA), formed in 1940, represents the professional interests of South African Master Mariners, Deck Officers and Cadets, as well as those carrying out shore-based employment by virtue of their sea-going experience and certification.
“We undertake to foster a spirit of fellowship, helpfulness and unity among Master Mariners. To protect and promote the interests of mariners in the Republic of South Africa and to, at all times, uphold the camaraderie of the sea.”
