  1. Development of security management and maritime safety and ship pollution prevention for the Black Sea and Caspian Sea Развитие управления морской охраной и безопасностью, предотвращение загрязнения с судов для Черного и Каспийского морей Service Contract: EuropeAid/127221/C/SER/Multi Meeting and Workshop SASEPOL Project National Coordinators. (Kiev 13 – 14 July 2010) Presented by: Capt. Fernando Pardo

  2. Development of security management and maritime safety and ship pollution prevention for the Black Sea and Caspian Sea • INTRODUCTION • European Union Maritime Education and Training (MET) • Old systems. Sailing ONLY: “Old Sea Dogs” • Modernized MET in the EU Maritime Academies and Universities - Introduction of the concept of Maritime Transport Career - New MET training programmes - Introduction of Master of Sciences and Ph.D degrees • INNOVATION: Accession of seafarers with new career to relevant posts in the maritime transport sector. RESULTS: Old Sea Dogs converted in shipping industry managers.

  3. EVOLUTION OF MET IN THE EUROPEN UNION METHAR research project and concerted action from 1996 to 1999: “Harmonization of European Maritime Education and Training Schemes” Main aim:“Development of common methodologies and solutions for harmonized curricula and qualifications. Adaptation of training courses to the requirements of new advanced technologies”. Main objectives: To increase the competitiveness of the European maritime industry by improving the qualification of seafarers and other maritime personnel to achieve higher safety, environment protection and efficiency standards. To enhance the employability and facilitate the professional mobility of MET graduates within the maritime industry. To exploit the potential of MET institutions by facilitating and encouraging communication and cooperation among them.

  4. CONCLUSIONS OF METHAR PROJECT: Economy/competitiveness: Concentration of resources, integration in larger centres, reduction of number of institutions, etc. Regulations/mobility: Recognition of mobility, facilitating mobility by intensified use of English. Society/employment: Enhancing competence standards, a wider application of MET. Technology/progress: Use of modern technology, organizing shipboard training, development of distance learning. Politics/feasibility: Effective political intervention is necessary.

  5. METNET: THEMATIC NETWORK ON MARITIME EDUCATION, TRAINING AND CERTIFICATION Aims: To improve the quality, harmonize the contents and extend the applicability of maritime education and training for ship officers in the EU. Main objectives of METNET To improve MET quality that will increase the competitiveness of ship officers, create more jobs and make shipping safer, more environment-friendly and more efficient. To harmonize MET contents that will help to develop the basis for a future European ship officer, improve his/her mobility, promote mutual recognition of ship officer certificates and facilitate cooperation between MET institutions. Similar to Bolonia Process* for Universities. To extend MET applicability that will make the ship officer career more attractive and will contribute to ensure the provision of ex-ship officers for positions in the maritime industry ashore.

  6. * BOLOGNA PROCESS Its purpose is to create the European Higher Education Area by making academic degree and quality standards more comparable and compatible throughout Europe. Signed in 1999. Currently has 47 participating countries, so is not an EU initiatiuve only. Azerbaijan, Georgia and Ukraine are signatories (2005). Defined Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctoral Degrees. Similar structure was proposed in the METNET project

  7. METNET has developed courses for lecturers for improving their knowledge and skills in the use of modern technology: • The application of modern technology in teaching, • • The application of modern technology in assessment, • • The optimum use of shiphandling/navigation simulators, and • • The optimum use of engine room simulators. • The project has developed syllabi for common application in the EU • Creation of a syllabus for marine engineering MET, • Creation of a syllabus for nautical MET, • Creation of a syllabus for dual-purpose MET, • Exploitation of modern technology in teaching marine engineering and nautical syllabi.

  8. COURSES DESIGN FOR A SYLLABUS FOR COMMON USE IN THE EU • Design of framework for development of new courses • Creation of a course on marine environment protection • Creation of a course on port operations and costs • Creation of a course on shipping operations and costs • Creation of a course on celestial navigation, • Course on modern technology use in assessment, • Course for shiphandling/navigation simulator instructors, • Course for engine room simulator instructors • Development of maritime English back-up material for use at MET institutions

  9. SOME METNETRECOMMENDATIONS • To revise and update the MET syllabuses in order to adapt he theoretical teaching and practical training to the existing and steadily increasing advanced technology, • Harmonization of MET teaching and assessment in Europe to reach a common standard of training of seafarers aimed to facilitate their mobility. • Priority should be given to the analysis of the impact of human factor in the maritime safety and pollution prevention. • Particular attention should be given to the training of ship’s officers in the use of advanced technology.

  10. METNET has proposed four levels of MET: • Basic: MET programmes to comply with the minimum requirements of the STCW* Convention (Sea only) • Extended. MET training programs beyond the STCW Convention • Improved training programs that qualify MET as University degree, • High level education and training that • leads to a MSc or even to a Ph.D degree. • (University level: any post in the maritime sector) * STCW: Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping of Seafarers

  11. TRANSFER OF RELEVANT KNOW-HOW IN THE SASEPOL COUNTRIES • Main problem is the lack of harmonized MET systems. • Efforts made to transfer MET knowkedge from the EU countries to TRACECA States (SASEPOL) • MARITIME TRAINING PROJECT: Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan Turkmenistan and Ukraine from October 2005 to October 2007. • Regional seminar on pollution and emergency in Aktau, Baku and Odessa. April and may 2007 • Seminars on commercial aspects of shipping in Baku (with participation of Aktau), Batumi and Odessa. September 2007 • Train the trainers seminar in Kiev. May 2007 • EU law regarding local maritime authorities. Tbilisi June 2007 • Workshop: busines development and marketing. Batumi Oct 2007 • Final project workshop in Batumi. November 2007 • Simulator training for trainers in Rotterdam. Nov/Dec 2007

  12. TRANSFER OF RELEVANT KNOW-HOW IN THE SASEPOL COUNTRIES • The Maritime Project has similarities with METHAR/METNET projects: • Some project tasks: • Carry out problem and training needs analysis, • Revise existing curricula and elaborate tailor-made training courses, • Recommendations for development of a Nautical Curriculum, • Elaboration of a model Nautical Course of studies and a sample Curriculum, • Promotion of cooperation through regional workshops, • (Maritime Project cover Nautical Education and Training only) • RESULTS: Maritime project seminars and workshops very useful to harmonize MET in TRACECA/SASEPOL countries.

  13. COMMON PROBLEMS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF MET HARMONIZATION OF MET SYSTEMS: Different countries have different regulations and MET systems. Seafarer is an international profession with great mobility of personnel promoted through the “Recognition of Certificates” STCW Convention helps to the harmonization of training and certification but the interpretation and application is not uniform. (IMO White List* ). Modern shipping technology needs modern and updated qualified crews. “Maritime Transport Career” adapted to sail and to work in the maritime sector on shore. * To be in the White List means that IMO has determined that the country is in full compliance with the 1995 amendments to the STCW Convention

  14. COMMON PROBLEMS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF MET HARMONIZATION OF MET SYSTEMS: Azerbaijan, Georgia and Ukraine have comparable training structures coming from a former common system that has been adapted to STCW in a similar manner. They are in the IMO White List. Harmonization of MET between these three countries and Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan would be desirable in the region. Example of EU METHAR and METNET projects Maritime project seminars and workshops very useful to harmonize MET in TRACECA/SASEPOL countries. Initiatives to harmonize the MET systems and more regional cooperation are recommended to exchange knowledge, material and experiences. The Working Groups proposed in SASEPOL Activity 5 may be used to promote harmonization of MET systems in the project region.

  15. COMMON PROBLEMS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF MET LANGUAGE BARRIER The lack of English language knowledge among the teachers and administrators of most of the regional maritime training centres proved to be a hampering factor. Specific maritime technical vocabulary, difficult to translate. Freely held conversations difficult to translate some specific technical expresions. IMO produces huge quantities of documents and it is difficult to be updated with the Russian translations. One of the training needs for people engaged in MET is learning maritime English, (METNET devoted a task to Maritime English.) Training in modern teaching and learning techniques is other key issue due to the rapid advances in the new techniques, in particular ICT, mainly originated in English. (Some of these notes come from the Maritime Training Project)

  16. COMMON PROBLEMS IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF MET • PEDAGOGICAL KNOWLEDGE – TRAIN-THE-TRAINERS • A typical problem in many countries is the lack of pedagogical background of teachers in charge of maritime technical matters. MET institutions used to contract experienced seafarers, Captains and Engineers, without receiving special training on teaching techniques. • In some countries it is required to have pedagogical specialization to teach in official institutions. • An intermediate solution may be to require to the future professors, teachers and instructors to complete a specific train-the-trainers course as the example of the next slides. • Maritime training project has paid attention to this problem in the region organizing a train-the-trainers seminar in Kiev, May 2007.

  17. EXAMPLE OF TRAINING THE TRAINERS COURSE FOR MET • The European Union and its institutions • The role of IMO on maritime education and training • The STCW convention • European Council Directives on maritime education and training • Knowledge required for certification of seafarers • Introduction to teaching practice • Practical exercises on teaching • Examination techniques • Evaluation procedures • Rules governing the examination • Rules for examinee appeals • Practical exercises on evaluation
