| Aims and Objectives |
|
| The establishment of GlobalMET arose from the participants' desire to support the aims and objectives of IMO for 'safer ships and cleaner oceans' and recognition of: |
- the vital importance of maritime education and training in fulfilling the needs of expanding trade and economic growth;
- the urgent need for collective efforts in maritime education and training to promote greater safety at sea and protection of the marine environment.
|
| GlobalMET's objectives are to: |
- provide a forum for the exchange of views among members;
- foster, develop and maintain close cooperation between and among members on matters relating to maritime education and training, including maritime research and development and other matters of mutual and/or collective interest;
- extend assistance consistent with its policies and capabilities to any member upon the latter's request;
- formulate a common stand on issues of interest related to maritime education, training, research and development;
- improve, or assist in improving, the services provided by members through the efficient and economic utilisation of resources;
- represent the general membership in its collective dealings with regional and international organisations;
- acquire, collate, process and disseminate relevant data and material of common interest to all members.
