Abstract

This qualitative study investigates cultural and linguistic challenges faced by 45 junior cadets in global maritime education, focusing on English usage. Through interviews and focus group discussions, diverse English proficiency levels were identified among participants, highlighting the need for tailored language training programs. Communication challenges, particularly in understanding technical terminology and navigating cultural differences, emphasize the importance of targeted language instruction and cross-cultural training initiatives. Aligning with the International Maritime Organization's Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping (STCW), the study emphasizes the significance of linguistic competence and cultural awareness in ensuring safety and efficiency within maritime crews. The findings emphasize the importance of integrating language training initiatives into maritime education curriculum and fostering a culture of inclusivity and professionalism within the maritime industry.

Abstract

This research investigates the effectiveness of maritime education in addressing the evolving needs of the maritime industry, with a particular focus on shipping management, maritime business, financial literacy, and sustainability. The study employs qualitative methods, including semi-structured interviews with maritime professionals, educators, and graduates, to assess the alignment of current curricula with industry requirements. Results indicate that while maritime education provides a solid technical foundation, it falls short in integrating modern financial practices and sustainability principles. Stakeholder collaboration between industry professionals, educators, and students was found to be valuable but underdeveloped, highlighting the need for more structured partnerships. With an overall score of 9/10 across all indicators, the research suggests that incorporating financial decision-making and sustainability into the curriculum is essential for preparing graduates for future industry challenges. The study emphasizes the importance of adapting maritime education to equip students with the skills necessary to thrive in an increasingly complex and environmentally-conscious global maritime sector.
