The worid depends on @ safe, secure and efficient shipping industry; and the shipping industry depends on an adequeta supaly of seafarers to operate the ships that carry the essential cargoes we all raly on, Shipping is highly technical, demanding considerable skill, knowledge and expertise from those who work in it. And itis impossible to learn everything on the job. As a truly international industry, shipping needs a global network of specialist education and training establishments to ensure a continuing stream of high-calibre recrults. Maritime education and training must ba of a high end consistent quality, throughout the world, They must be skills based, competence-based and utilize the latest technology — such as simulators reflecting modem ships and up-to-date bridge layouts. But maritime education and training are not just for seafarers. Maritime education needs broad coverago. Naval architecture, marine engineering, maritime law and many other fields all require specialist training. IMO has a long and wide-ranging involvement in the human element of shipping, Mar'time education and training are central to its work in this area. The 1978 Intemational Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkesping for Seaferers hes set the Intemational benchmark for Seafarer training end education. Compliance with its standards is essential for serving on board ships. Significant amendments to the Convention were adopted in 2010 In Manila. Yet much remains to be done by Parties to ensure effective Implementation before the end of the transition period on 1 January 2017. Looking at the wider spectrum, IMO's Integrated Technical Cooperation Programme provides @ capacity-bullding framework to assist developing countries to enhance the skills and proficiencies needed for effective compliance with [MO Instruments. This, together with [MO's global maritime training institutions, the World Maritime University and the International Markims Law Insttute, helps maintain a flow of high level managers, policymakers and other key personnel. We are very proud of these institutions, and of the many graduates they have produced who nn noe ROW-hold.-positions.of rasponsibilty.and influence within the. maritime community. In the future, the human element In shipping will be increasingly important, not Just for the commerciat reasons but also as the industry moves towards ever higher standards of safety, environmental impact end eusteinability, It is the humen element that will translate new objectives in these areas into solid actions, Further effort must be made to bring new generations into seafaring as a profession, Seafaring must be seen to appeal to new generations es a rewarding and futfiling career. ‘iipai/edocs Imo orgiFinel Doaumenis/EngisivCIRCULAR LETTER NO.3876 (E). doe1570072016 Tue 42:44 FR ‘TEL:+302481974422 FAX2104994561-3 1: #126928. Page 4 of 6 Circular Letter No.3578 Annex ‘,page2 It is impossible to overstress how important this is. Without a quality labour force, motivated, trained and skilled to the appropriate international standards, shigping cannot thrive. Not only that, all the many advances that have been made, in terms of safety and environmental impact, are at risk if personne! within the industry are unable to implement them properly. The Importance of training and education for the maritime personnel of today and tomorrow Is greater than ever before. Effective standards of training are the bedrock of a safe and secure shipping Industry, and that is why this year, "Maritime Education and Training" is our theme for World Maritime Day. inipaiTedoos imo org Final Dacumenis/Eng/sNORCULAR LETTER NO.3576 (E).d0c1510972016 Tue 12:41 FROMALS-EL.AKTMS.
