BIMCO and ICS are preparing the Seafarer Workforce Report 2021, (previously Manpower Report), which aims to provide estimates of the global supply and demand for seafarers. It has traditionally been prepared every five years since 1990 and is the trusted source of information on the global situation related to seafarer training and ship’s crewing.
Education and training of seafarers are vital to maintaining the supply of competent and qualified seafarers to meet the demands from the industry to safely operate the world merchant fleet. Therefore, it is crucial to preparing the Seafarer Workforce Report that BIMCO and ICS gain an understanding of any issues or trends concerning seafarer’s education and training that may have an impact on their future supply or affect their ability to perform the functions required on ships.
BIMCO and ICS are seeking the assistance and expertise of MET institutions around the world to provide their inputs into the Seafarer Workforce Report to help identify the key issues and trends in seafarer supply and demand in 2020.
As such, please find below a link to an Online Survey for MET Institutions, (one survey per institution), designed ideally completed by those managing or lecturing at the institution. This survey should take approximately 20 minutes to complete. Please note, you can save and go back to the questionnaire as many times as required before you ‘submit’.

Thank you for your time and effort in completing this questionnaire.
The purpose of this email is to kindly request your cooperation to promote and encourage the submission of nominations for the 2021 IMO Award for Exceptional Bravery at Sea.
You will find attached a promotional flyer in the three working languages of the Organization (English, French and Spanish). Each of them contains two links: one for the guidelines (Circular Letter No.4326) and the other for the nomination form in Word format. You may remember that the Award Guidelines were amended in 2018 and nominations may now also involve displays of extraordinary seamanship skills in very difficult conditions or any other acts of outstanding courage occurring at sea.
We would be most grateful if you could upload the flyer onto your website and/or circulate it to your members as you consider appropriate. Alternatively, it can be accessed through IMO Awards and recognitions on the IMO website or the following links:
On behalf of the Secretary-General, the External Relations Office is pleased to bring to your attention the attached Circular Letter No.4403 inviting you to join IMO in a new initiative to promote the World Maritime theme by lighting up your most iconic buildings, bridges, maritime ports, ships, monuments, museums and other emblematic landmarks on World Maritime Day each year. This year, the World Maritime Day will be celebrated on 30 September.
We would be most grateful if you could circulate it to your members as you consider appropriate.
