Dear MET Provider
There is serious need to raise the profile of MET and to strengthen the voice for MET providers at IMO and other international fora. More needs to be done to assure delivery of quality MET essential to assisting the global shipping industry and other maritime sectors achieve efficiency, safety, cleanliness and security. Careers at sea need to be more attractive. To help us in working to achieve these goals we need your participation in our global network.
Below are just a few of the ongoing and new activities agreed by GlobalMET’s international Board of Directors at their April meeting at the Malaysian Maritime Academy:
1. Ongoing input to IMO through participation in IMO HTW meetings, with submission of an expression of interest in assisting IMO with the writing of a new model course on Leadership and Management for management level seafarers. Development of a concept as to how GlobalMET could assist IMO with mandatory auditing to commence in 2016; with respect to STCW provisions.
2. Ongoing liaison with the Asian Development Bank with respect to formulation of the concept document for the proposed project Human Resource Development in the Maritime Sector in Asia and the Pacific.
3. Review of the Structured Shipboard Training Program Books project with a view to increased use.
4. Implementation of the phased program Bridging the Gaps Between STCW Standards and Course Delivery in the Philippines, to be concluded in late November.
5. Formation of a strategic planning working group to review and recommend future development as a financially sound professional body, including a succession plan for the Executive Secretary’s position.
6. Further liaison with the three littoral states with a view to development of an information chart and possibly other awareness raising materials to assist the Cooperative Mechanism on Safety of Navigation and Environmental Protection in the Straits of Malacca and Singapore.
7. As a follow-on to the highly successful conference in Kuala Lumpur in April, further collaboration with the Malaysian Maritime Academy on the organization of a two-day workshop in Malaysia in September/October.
8. GlobalMET meetings and a conference or seminar to be held in Manila in conjunction with the 15th Asia Pacific Manning & Training Conference in late November.
