The world Maritime Education and Training Institute (PPM) under the International Maritime Organization (IMO) plays an important role in producing ideally skilled and competent seafarers. Developing countries, especially Indonesia, are challenged to be able to improve the quality of PPM institutions in developing their competencies that are globally oriented and based on a high level of excellence, so as to be able to maintain industrial competitiveness and overcome further globalization which causes economic growth in developing countries. This type of research uses descriptive research with a structured interview method. The main objective of this study is to assess the quality of maritime education and training from the perspective of seafarers in Indonesia. The result of this research found that a national strategy was needed for professional development for the cognitive development of seafarers.

Abstract Recently, the quality of Maritime Education and Training (MET) has drawn more attention from employers of the shipping industry, because incompetent officers have frequently contributed to ship accidents. The authors intend to explore answers to three questions: (1) Is the quality of Chinese MET satisfactory to the maritime stakeholders? (2) What are the major factors affecting the quality of cadet training? (3) Are there feasible solutions to improve the quality of MET? The authors take China, a major seafarers supplying country, as empirical evidence to disclose the causes of the problems. By an exploratory factor analysis technique, this paper presents the findings of semi-structured interviews and questionnaire surveys and identifies four principal factors affecting the quality of MET in China. Shortage of skillful instructors, lack of onboard training, over-reliance on theoretical teaching, and limited funding sources are prominent factors in this context. Practical solutions are proposed for the purpose of improving the overall competence of Chinese cadets expected to become the dynamic workforce for the global shipping industry.
