Support for the Maritime Museum of New Caledonia

The Union Maritime et Portuaire de Nouvelle-Calédonie (UMEP) is committed to a sponsorship approach by providing financial support to the Maritime Museum of New Caledonia.

This commitment reflects our dedication to preserving and promoting the local maritime heritage while keeping New Caledonia’s port culture alive.
