<![CDATA[This research examines the integration of shipping law and maritime policies within Indonesian maritime vocational education systems, evaluating their effectiveness in developing professional competencies amongst maritime graduates. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the study investigates perspectives from three key stakeholder groups: maritime professionals, vocational lecturers, and maritime graduates. The research addresses critical gaps in legal literacy amongst Indonesian seafarers operating within international jurisdictions. Findings indicate an overall effectiveness score of 9/10 across three key indicators: shipping management, maritime business, and maritime finance with sustainability. However, significant opportunities exist for enhanced case-based learning, practical legal simulations, and contextualised application of international maritime conventions. The study recommends systematic curriculum reforms incorporating experiential learning methodologies, strengthened industry-academia collaboration, and development of competency-based legal literacy frameworks aligned with International Maritime Organisation (IMO) standards.]]>
