• W1034723394 abstract "The international merchant shipping industry is suffering from the poor safetystandards of vessels and a lack of well trained seafarers. As almost all of Australia'ssea-based export and import trade is carried on international vessels, the standardof these vessels, and their crew, is of particular concern to the Australian peopleand the Australian Government. With the much quoted statistic of 80% of allshipping accidents being caused by human error, the training of seafarers,particularly deck officers, is a major concern for the international shippingindustry. The Commonwealth Government recognises that the improvement ofvessel safety requires the provision of adequate education and training forinternational seafarers. In 1994 the Government encouraged the AustralianMaritime College to diversify its sources of funding with the object of attracting anincreased flow of students from the Asia Pacific region (House of Representatives1994, p. 62). 'The Australian Maritime College offers training for deck officer students throughthe Diploma of Applied Science (Shipmaster) and the Diploma of Applied Science(Nautical Science), and attracts a significant number of full-fee students from theAsia Pacific region. The majority of the international students are self-funded,with very little financial support from the shipowners/managers. The aim of thisdissertation is to determine a deck officer education and training system whichwill encourage Asia Pacific shipowners/managers to enter into a contract with theAustralian Maritime College to fund the training of their deck officer personnel. The dissertation seeks the opinions of shipowners/managers in relation to theacceptability of training models, the acceptability of delivery methods, thewillingness to financially support training and the factors that affect the education,training and certification of the deck officer students. The study also investigatesthe characteristics of the international shipping industry to provide insights intofactors that may constrain or encourage the implementation of a deck officer education and training systems. The research is focused through the followingresearch questions:1. Do the Asia Pacific shipowners/managers have difficulty obtaining adequatelytrained deck officers?2. Do the Asia Pacific shipowners/managers wish to support deck officer trainingthrough an agreement with a maritime institution and/ or funding to deckofficers?3. What are the acceptable deck officer Certificates of Competency education andtraining systems for the shipowners/managers in the Asia Pacific region?4. What are the desirable/undesirable delivery methods for the deck officereducation and training program for the Asia Pacific shipowners/managers?5. What do the shipowners/managers see as the major influenceseducation and training of deck officers in the Asia Pacific region?on the The dissertation uses two descriptive research methods to collect data from shipping company personnel; face-to face interviews and a survey questionnaire. The results of the research indicate that the shipowners/managers are having some difficulty obtaining well-trained deck officers, with the deficit greater in the senior officer ranks than junior officer ranks. This suggests the training market in the Asia Pacific region is quite secure, as there is significant demand for well trained deck officers. The majority of shipowners/managers do not have, or want, a Certificate of Competency training agreement with a maritime traininginstitution. Also, the shipowners/managers from the major shipping centres ofHong Kong and Singapore are of the opinion that an employer should contribute arelatively small amount, 0% to 20% (n=7), to the cost of a Second Mate student'straining. The shipowners' I managers' most expected, most desired and best training systemis the Sandwich, Diploma of Applied Science (Shipmaster), model. The Front-end,Diploma of Applied Science (Nautical Science), model is regarded as one of theleast expected, least desired and worst training models. For the Second Mate coursethe most agreeable delivery methods involve practical training and official assessment by senior officers at sea and by simulation at a training institution. Theuse of a training institution to delivery lectures and tutorials was also supported.Distance education for Second Mate students is given marginal support; however,it is not supported for senior officers due to their at-sea workloads. The factors thatstrongly influence the education and training of Second Mate students are theCertificate of Competency government requirements, the International MaritimeOrganisation's requirements, the Quality Assurance of the shipowner/managerand increases in the regulation of shipping.In order to encourage contracts with Asia Pacific shipowners/managers theAustralian Maritime College may need to be able to prove the financial benefit of atraining contract to the shipowners/managers. The basis of this proof could be thealleviation of a shipping company's concern of port State control detaining avessel due to incompetent officers, which costs money, and the non-compliance toQuality Assurance due to poorly trained officers, which may affect insurance. TheAustralian Maritime College could alleviate this concern by the provision of acompany approved education and training system that ensures deck officers meetthe requirements of port State control and comply to the company's QualityAssurance. Such a system may need to have the following elements: Quality Assurance to recognised international standards;• the Sandwich model course structure;• competency based curriculum which concentrates on the training andassessment of practical skills as well as underpinning knowledge;• official assessment of deck officer students by on-board senior officers;• extensive use of simulators in the training and assessment of students;• distance education option for the Second Mate students.This system implies that the Australian Maritime College may wish to considerundertaking the following developments:• obtain Quality Assurance to an international standard as a matter of urgency; develop a Competency Based Training curriculum that takes into account therequirements of Standards Training Certification and Watchkeeping 1995 andthe Australian Vocational Education and Training sector;• implement Competency Based Training education for the Australian MaritimeCollege staff;• develop a senior officer train-the-trainer and assessor course;• develop an on-board deck officer assessment system which ensures allassessments are carried out validly, fairly and consistently to the satisfaction ofthe Australian Maritime College and the Australian Maritime SafetyAuthority;• investigate the development of distance education learning packages forSecond Mate students;• develop constructive relationships with shipping companies and shipownerorganisations in the Asia Pacific region." @default.
