Abstract

This research explores the integration of transdisciplinary and sustainability science into maritime vocational education to enhance ecosystem resilience. Drawing on qualitative data from five maritime professionals, five lecturers, and fifteen senior cadets from the Maritime Polytechnic of North Sulawesi, this study captures the depth of experience and expertise across industry, academia, and student perspectives. The findings reveal that ecosystem resilience education—when supported by industry-based learning, environmental case studies, and interdisciplinary methods—equips maritime cadets with holistic skills necessary for addressing real-world challenges. By understanding the connections between marine ecosystem health, shipping logistics, and sustainable economic practices, the study underscores the need for curriculum reform that promotes systemic thinking. The research emphasizes how knowledge co-production between practitioners and educators can lead to more inclusive, socially just, and sustainable maritime education. These insights are especially critical for maritime institutes preparing graduates to operate within global sustainability frameworks and green economy initiatives.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of year-long industry-based internships in shaping the competencies of maritime cadets in sustainable port and shipping management. Conducted with fifteen seventh-semester cadets from the Maritime Polytechnic of North Sulawesi, complemented by insights from five maritime professionals and five academic lecturers, this qualitative research highlights the experiential learning that occurs within real-world maritime settings. Cadets engaged in internships across port offices, shipping companies, and marine industries, applying classroom knowledge to operational tasks involving logistics, regulatory compliance, and environmental monitoring. The findings indicate that prolonged exposure to industry practices fosters not only technical proficiency but also a nuanced understanding of sustainability issues in maritime operations. Furthermore, mentorship from professionals and feedback from academic supervisors bridge theoretical knowledge with applied action. The study advocates for internship programs to be more systematically integrated into vocational curricula as a transformative educational tool for maritime sustainability and social responsibility.
