Abstract

The transition to green shipping is a critical challenge for the maritime sector, requiring a shift in both technological adoption and workforce preparedness. This research examines the readiness of seafarers for this transition, focusing on the alignment between maritime vocational education and industry needs. The analysis addresses the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application in green shipping technologies. The research aims to answer key questions regarding the integration of sustainability into maritime education, seafarer readiness, and the alignment of training with industry requirements. A qualitative methodology combining Systematic Literature Review (SLR) and interviews with 10 maritime professionals, educators, and graduates was used to gather insights. The SLR provided a theoretical framework for understanding the green shipping transition, while the interviews revealed practical barriers to implementing sustainable practices in training programs. The findings show a clear misalignment between current educational practices and industry demands, with a need for hands-on training and stronger collaboration between academia and industry. The research emphasizes the importance of integrating green shipping technologies into curricula and fostering a culture of sustainability in the maritime sector. This study contributes valuable insights into the preparation of seafarers for a sustainable future in the maritime industry, offering practical recommendations for improving education and industry collaboration.

Abstract

This qualitative research examines the integration of industry professional expertise within maritime engineering education through comprehensive analysis of perspectives from four maritime industry professionals and four academic educators. The study employs descriptive analytical methodology to investigate knowledge transfer effectiveness and technological innovation adoption within maritime engineering education programs. Findings reveal significant gaps between industry competency requirements and current educational outcomes, particularly in practical problem-solving capabilities, technology adaptation skills, and collaborative decision-making competencies. Industry professionals consistently rate educational effectiveness lower than academic educators across critical competency domains, indicating substantial opportunities for improvement through enhanced industry-academia collaboration. The research identifies mentorship programs, collaborative projects, and innovative assessment methodologies as high-impact approaches for addressing educational enhancement opportunities. Technology integration analysis reveals critical gaps between current educational practices and industry technological advancement, emphasizing urgent needs for systematic approaches to maintaining curriculum relevance. The study establishes evidence-based frameworks for sustainable industry-academia collaboration that can enhance maritime engineering education effectiveness while addressing evolving industry competency requirements. Results demonstrate that systematic integration of professional expertise yields measurable improvements in student engagement, graduate employment outcomes, and industry satisfaction with educational programs.
