adequately informed about the opportunities and challenges in the field, and how can
information dissemination be improved are considered to be an area of inquiry, Thus, the key
purpose of this study is to determine the factors that influence maritime student decision to
pursue a career in maritime transportation.
Additionally, the researches wanted to conduct the study if it can provide valuable
insights into how educational institutions, industry stakeholders, and policymakers can better
support and encourage students to pursue careers in maritime transportation.

 Significance of Calculation in Cargo During Leading the Unloading on Port

Study Background:
The maritime industry plays a pivotal role in global trade, with the majority of goods
being transported by sea. Efficient cargo handling at ports is crucial for ensuring the timely and
cost-effective movement of these goods. One critical aspect of cargo handling is the accurate
calculation of cargo quantities during the unloading process.
Historically, the maritime industry has relied on manual methods and conventional equipment for
cargo measurement and calculation during unloading. However, the increasing scale of global
trade and the need for precision, efficiency, and safety have necessitated the adoption of
modern technology and advanced measurement techniques in port operations.
The significance of accurate cargo calculation during the unloading process cannot be
overstated, and this study seeks to shed light on its multifaceted importance. However, Cargo
handling inefficiencies, including inaccuracies in cargo measurement, can result in delays,
disputes, and financial losses. Accurate cargo calculation is vital for facilitating smooth trade
operations, reducing financial disputes, and ultimately contributing to the economic growth of
nations. Incorrectly measured or improperly distributed cargo can pose serious safety hazards,
potentially leading to accidents, injuries, or even environmental disasters. Ensuring cargo is
correctly measured and loaded onto vessels is a fundamental aspect of maritime safety.
Moreover, many international regulations and conventions, such as the International
Maritime Organization's (IMO) Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) Convention, require accurate
cargo measurements to be provided before loading and unloading. Compliance with these
regulations is essential to avoid legal issues and penalties.
Despite the increasing importance of accurate cargo calculation, there is a noticeable
gap in research exploring the latest techniques, technologies, and best practices in this area.
This study aims to bridge this gap by providing insights into the significance of accurate cargo
calculation and the potential benefits of adopting innovative methods. While there has been
progress in implementing technology for cargo calculation, there is a need for research into the
integration of various technologies, such as IoT sensors, AI, and blockchain, to create a
seamless and automated cargo measurement and tracking system. Research can explore the
challenges and benefits of adopting such integrated systems in real-world port operations.
The researchers can help address the gaps through this research inquiry which can lead
to improved practices, increased efficiency, enhanced safety, and reduced environmental impact
in port operations. It can also contribute to the overall competitiveness and sustainability of the
maritime industry.

 Integrated Maritime Plotting System Enhancing Trim Stability and Stress for efficient
Vessel operation

Study Background:
The maritime industry plays a pivotal role in global trade and transportation. Ships of
various sizes and types are responsible for moving approximately 80% of the world's goods,
making it an essential component of the global economy. However, this industry faces
numerous challenges that demand innovative solutions. Two of the most pressing challenges
are trim stability and operational stress.
An IMPS is a comprehensive software and hardware solution used for vessel navigation
and management. It integrates various data sources, such as GPS, radar, weather information,
and cargo tracking systems, to provide real-time situational awareness for ship operators. IMPS
is a cornerstone of modern maritime operations, aiding in route planning, collision avoidance,
and efficient vessel management.
However, although IMPS aims to integrate various data sources, there is often a lack of
standardized data formats and protocols across different systems and vessels. Research is
needed to develop common data standards and ensure seamless data integration, which is
essential for effective trim stability and stress management. While research has focused on real-
time adjustments for trim stability, there is room for improvement in developing more
sophisticated algorithms and models that can adapt to changing environmental conditions,
vessel dynamics, and cargo loads in real-time.
Moreover, while there has been some progress in using predictive analytics to manage
operational stress, more research is needed to refine predictive models. This includes improving
the accuracy of weather forecasting, wave impact prediction, and stress assessment algorithms
to provide early warnings and actionable insights to vessel operators. While this are of inquiry is
critical to the maritime industry, the key purpose of this study is to analyzed the perceived
significance on the use of IMPS in enhancing trim stability and Stress for efficient vessel
operation.
