GlobalMET, in association with Member of long-standing Anglo-Eastern Ship Management has developed a Deck Cadet Structured Shipboard Training Program Record Book, with an Activity Book and supplementary books for Oil Tankers, Chemical Tankers and Gas Carriers. A presentation is available at Downloads. The corresponding Engine Cadet books are in the final stages of preparation.
The GlobalMET Maritime Logistics International Forum, held as part of Singapore Maritime Week in April 2011, concluded with the issuing of the following Statement of Outcomes:
WE the participants in the Maritime Logistics International Forum, organised by the Global Maritime Education and Training Association - GlobalMET - and held at Singapore Maritime Academy on 12-13 April 2011, as part of the 6th Singapore Maritime Week;
RECOGNISING that efficient and effective maritime logistics is increasingly critical to world trade and recognising also the need to ensure adequate provision of well-trained and competent people to work in the maritime logistics industry;
CALL for the development of a range of nationally, regionally and globally recognised industry agreed standards, competencies and courses with appropriately accredited teaching materials and assessment methods, utilising state-of-the-art teaching methodologies and delivery technologies and certification, for those employed or seeking employment in the maritime logistics industry.
GlobalMET is now exploring possible follow-up activity, including appropriate ways to respond to the call in the above statement, as well as early planning of a second MLIF to be held on the western side of the Pacific in 2012.
GlobalMET is very grateful for the support provided by the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport in Singapore and Australia and also by the Singapore Maritime Academy, as well as for the high levels of participation in discussing these very important issues.
