A post-conference workshop was held on board SuperStar Virgo while on a Singapore/Penang/Phuket/Singapore
cruise. Speakers from GlobalMET member institutions participated in the GlobalMET and Martech conferences. Presentations and discussions covered a wide variety of MET topics and included:
- relevant aspects of aviation training
- science or non-science motivation to learn
- will future MET be driven by technology
- TMSA for tankers: MEMSA for MET
- developing a global MET network
- future influences of ICT and e-learning
- measuring the effectiveness of MET
- training Maritime English teachers and assessing teaching outcomes
- employability skills and a skills portfolio approach
- simulation training for piloting QM2 through a confined passage
- evolution of MET in The Netherlands
- web-based learning management systems for instructors and students.
During the half-day workshop aboard SuperStar Virgo participants spoke about their own institutions and principal needs, as well as about enabling greater usage of information and
communications technology and how networking through GlobalMET can assist the development of MET.
The uniqueness of holding a workshop involving participants from 12 countries on the MET needs of the modern shipping industry aboard a large modern ship, underway in restricted visibility in the crowded Malacca Strait, was notable. Also notable, was the presence on board of students and staff from the Singapore Maritime Academy and the valuable opportunities for interaction, particularly with the students.

| Description |
As a result of the identification of needs, IMO agreed to fund joint Workshops for maritime trainers in the Asia Pacific region. The first 10-day workshop for participants from GlobalMET member institutions was conducted at Singapore Maritime Academy in January 1999, the second at Shanghai Maritime University in September 1999 and the third at the Magsaysay Institute of Shipping in June 2000. All were very successful.
Significant progress has been made with the training of teachers of Maritime English. Since 1994, graded programs in teaching Maritime English have been provided for GlobalMET Member Institutions in Vladivostok, Hong Kong, Dalian, Shanghai, Qingdao and Manila; the training has been developed from an introductory Stage I, through to the more advanced Stage III level,all of which have now been delivered in Tokyo, Vladivostok and Manila; specific evaluation conducted at the conclusion of each training program has proved very positive, a common factor being requests for further training.
Designed and developed by an GlobalMET Member, these training programs have been conducted in Tokyo in association with the Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology and the National Institute of Sea Training, with the Maritime State University in Vladivostok, with Dalian and Shanghai Maritime Universities, with the Qingdao Ocean Shipping Mariners College and in association with the Magsaysay Training Centre in Manila. Funding support was provided by the Nippon Foundation, the Maritime State University, COSCO and the International Maritime Training Trust.
The GlobalMET Member responsible for the above training progams also represented GlobalMET and had significant input into the International Maritime English Conference in St Petersburg in October 2003, Manila in October 2004, Marseilles in October 2005.
Each year since 2000, seminars on collaboration in developing maritime education and training in India were held in Chennai, Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai. A number of significant items were identified with potential mutual benefit in developing further collaboration.
In June 2001, GlobalMET collaborated with the Hong Kong Ship Owners Association in a workshop on Maritime Education and Training in China, held in Shekou, Shenzhen PRC.
In April 2004 an agreement was signed between DNV SeaSkill and GlobalMET whereby they would collaborate on the development and implementation of a Standard for the Certification of Delivery of Courses in Maritime Education and Training Institutions - the standard has been formulated and implementation has commenced.
In October 2004, GlobalMET conducted a one-day seminar in Shanghai on MET: What is Wrong? What to Do? Conclusions were reported to the 2nd LSM Manning & Training in China Conference.
Potentially very beneficial links exist between GlobalMET and the Asian Shipowners' Forum. GlobalMET participates in the annual meetings of the Seafarer's Committee of the ASF.
In addition to the ongoing liaison with IMO, discussions about possible future joint activities have been initiated with the ISF, the ILO, UNESCAP, UNCTAD and the ITF. |
