  2. Contents • Overview of maritime programs • Shore based programs • Seafaring programs • Research • Industry relevance • Soft skills • Stand alone institute, or combined with University? • Concluding remarks

  3. Overview of maritime programs

  4. Overview of maritime programs

  5. Overview of maritime programs • Shore based programs • Seafaring programs

  6. Shore based programs • Science • Engineering • Business

  7. Shore based programs • Science • Engineering • Business Maritime as “top up”

  8. Shore based programs • Science • Engineering • Business Example of need for broad maritime program

  9. Seafaring programs • Need for Certificate of Competency • Requirements specified by IMO (STCW) • Two levels: • Operational level • Management level • Suitable sea service

  10. Seafaring programs • Old system: • Basic training • Seatime • Academic • CoC • Seatime • Academic • CoC • Seatime • Academic • CoC

  11. Seafaring programs Sandwich: Academic with seatime integrated Diploma/Degree + CoC Further seatime Further CoCs • New systems: Front end loaded: 3 – 4 years academic Diploma/Degree Seatime CoC

  12. Seafaring programs • One scenario

  13. Seafaring programs • Seatime requirements • IMO does not accept time on training vessel • Simulator time currently not accepted • Berths on seagoing ships are difficult to obtain • Training/Trading vessel Photos from Aida 4

  14. Seafaring programs • Training/Trading vessel • Conducts normal trading voyages • Additional accommodation for cadets and instructor(s) • Class room(s) • Instructor and examiners on board • Cadets are source of revenue Tasmanian Mariner Ro-Ro vessel 110 training berths Training bridge Workshops Cargo handling Photos courtesy Tasmanian International Freight Feeder Service

  15. Research • Research is seen by many as a key requirement of a good university. • High quality research attracts high quality staff and students. • Research standing measured by: • Publications • Research grant income • Completions of higher degrees by research • How is this applicable to maritime education and training?

  16. Industry relevance • Shore based programs • Academic subjects • Hydrodynamics; ship structures; marine biology; … • Industry related subjects • Ship design; …. • Seafaring programs • Currency at sea is important • Seagoing “blocks” for staff • Training/trading ship gives experience to staff too

  17. Soft skills • Report writing • Team work and leadership • Crisis management

  18. Stand alone institute, or combined with University • Shore based • Very university like. • Seafaring programs • Traditionally smaller specialist institutions • Recent trend to be subsumed by larger universities • Requirement for degree • Different type of academic? • Research/industry currency/practical teaching • Seafarers expect higher salaries • Teaching all year round • Sea time/practical requirements • Separate campus of major university?

  19. Concluding remarks • Four different clusters in maritime education • Science • Engineering • Business • Seafaring

  20. Concluding remarks } • Four different clusters in maritime education • Science • Engineering Good fit within traditional universities • Business • Seafaring - Special requirements

  21. Concluding remarks } • Four different clusters in maritime education • Science • Engineering Good fit within traditional universities • Business • Seafaring - Special requirements • Traditionally seafaring has been taught at separate specialist institutions • Recent trend to incorporate within universities: • Degree education for seafarers • Economies of scale

  22. Concluding remarks } • Four different clusters in maritime education • Science • Engineering Good fit within traditional universities • Business • Seafaring - Special requirements • Traditionally seafaring has been taught at separate specialist institutions • Recent trend to incorporate within universities: • Degree education for seafarers • Economies of scale • Possible separate campus with some independence?
