Dear Member,
PLEASE ENSURE THIS MEMO IS WIDELY DISTRIBUTED WITHIN YOUR
INSTITUTION
1 Building the Membership
It is through our collective efforts that we will develop GlobalMET into a strong voice for MET.
Our self-funded network currently has 90 Members (ie MET providers) in 31 countries, 8
Associate Members (ie interested parties) in 6 countries and 14 Individual Members in 9
countries. If we were twice as big - and we should be! - we could do so much more in
influencing the development of MET. There is certainly a need. Please assist recruitment of new
members, particularly now that we are coming to the end of the current financial year.
Copies of the recruitment letter and of the application form currently being distributed to
potential members are attached. Kindly help by forwarding or passing to any potential member.
2 Videotel Whitepaper
In the latest Whitepaper from Videotel, Professor Jon Wonham introduces some of the issues we
tackle when designing learning programmes about environmental protection. Videotel has a
comprehensive suite of programmes that focus on this vital aspect of maritime
operations. Please go to:

3 WMU, DNV GL Introduce Executive Maritime PGD
Posted on Jun 3rd, 2014
Tor Egil Svensen, CEO, Maritime, DNV GL and Acting WMU President Neil Bellefontaine
announce the new Executive Maritime Management PGD at Posidonia
Managers in today’s extremely competitive maritime industry need to cope with the current
technical, regulatory and commercial developments.
They must also be able to anticipate future developments and react in advance. It is essential that
they have up-to-date skills and comprehensive knowledge, if they are to retain their competitive
edge.
The World Maritime University (WMU), founded by the International Maritime Organization
(IMO), a specialized agency of the United Nations, and the Maritime Academy of DNV GL, the
world’s largest ship and offshore classification society, have joined forces to offer an innovative
new Postgraduate Diploma.
This unique Postgraduate Diploma is designed to provide a boot camp for managers.
Drawing on the strengths and expertise of both partners, it covers the most important current
topics in the maritime industry, taking a blended-learning approach to operational, commercial
and technical issues.
The Diploma will be offered in 2015 as an open-enrolment classroom-based learning program in
selected worldwide DNV GL Maritime Academies.
It will also be followed by distance-learning using the latest e-education systems, which allows
maximum flexibility to individual participants.
4 Future Shipping - SAFER, SMARTER, GREENER
DNV GL publishes The Future of Shipping' - A Broader View
The purpose of this report is to look into the future of shipping and preview the technologies,
systems and practices that DNV GL believe will play a role in achieving a worthwhile ambition:
to create a truly sustainable shipping industry by 2050.
As DNV GL turns 150, we are exploring six ‘themes for the future’ – areas where we can
leverage our history and expertise to translate our vision into impact. We selected these themes
as part of our efforts to take a broader view of the relationship between technology, business and
society. On these pages you will ind short introductions to each theme. To find out more, join us
at: dnvgl.com.' This is a significant 116 page document. In the section on Safe Operations:
Due to public demand for improved safety, regulatory pressure, and the application of new
technologies, developments in safe operations are likely to accelerate rapidly in the next four
decades. By 2020, owners and managers will increasingly adopt a more proactive and
preventative approach to safety, implement systems to facilitate learning from mistakes and have
a better understanding of what issues affect safety barriers.
Advances in the science of human resource development will enable the industry to have access
to a more skilled workforce. The workforce will likely include more women, have lower
turnover of personnel, and improved quality of leadership – both at sea and on land. Attention
will shift from individual mistakes to organisational issues, which will help companies devote
more resources to improving organisational systems that better support safety.
As new technologies and advanced risk methodologies are applied, a safety culture will be seen
as a critical indicator of safety performance. Owners and managers will take a more
comprehensive approach to risk management, working to prevent both individual and major
accidents. By 2030 user-centric bridge control systems will be the industry standard, and bridge
teams will beneit from improved communication between personnel of various ranks on the
bridge. The IMO is also likely to require that all maritime nations report accidents and near
misses and issue recommendations to improve learning. At the same time, sea trafic control
systems in some ports will migrate from just tracking vessels to offering routing advice.
In 2050, the application of innovative risk management models will result in a new, industry-
wide safety mindset that will combine both strategic and operational issues to improve
performance. Regulators will put in place rules requiring the industry to be more transparent, so
that owners and managers will share critical data on accidents and near misses, allowing the
industry to develop best practices. Sea trafic control systems will become more sophisticated to
include vectoring, speed allocation and data collection, and have the authority to intervene if a
vessel does not comply with recommended routes.
Unlike other pathways towards sustainable shipping described in this report, safe operations will
not be driven, or achievable, by the introduction of new technologies. In fact, the introduction of
new technologies can represent a risk to safety by increasing systems complexity. Rather, safety
at sea can only be achieved by gaining a better understanding of human behaviour, and how
people interact with technology, systems and each other in groups, both large and small.

Participate in Developing Effective MET
Dear MET Provider
There is serious need to raise the profile of MET and to strengthen the voice for MET providers at IMO and other international fora. More needs to be done to assure delivery of quality MET essential to assisting the global shipping industry and other maritime sectors achieve efficiency, safety, cleanliness and security. Careers at sea need to be more attractive. To help us in working to achieve these goals we need your participation in our global network.
Below are just a few of the ongoing and new activities agreed by GlobalMET’s international Board of Directors at their April meeting at the Malaysian Maritime Academy:
1. Ongoing input to IMO through participation in IMO HTW meetings, with submission of an expression of interest in assisting IMO with the writing of a new model course on Leadership and Management for management level seafarers. Development of a concept as to how GlobalMET could assist IMO with mandatory auditing to commence in 2016; with respect to STCW provisions.
2. Ongoing liaison with the Asian Development Bank with respect to formulation of the concept document for the proposed project Human Resource Development in the Maritime Sector in Asia and the Pacific.
3. Review of the Structured Shipboard Training Program Books project with a view to increased use.
4. Implementation of the phased program Bridging the Gaps Between STCW Standards and Course Delivery in the Philippines, to be concluded in late November.
5. Formation of a strategic planning working group to review and recommend future development as a financially sound professional body, including a succession plan for the Executive Secretary’s position.
6. Further liaison with the three littoral states with a view to development of an information chart and possibly other awareness raising materials to assist the Cooperative Mechanism on Safety of Navigation and Environmental Protection in the Straits of Malacca and Singapore.

7. As a follow-on to the highly successful conference in Kuala Lumpur in April, further collaboration with the Malaysian Maritime Academy on the organization of a two-day workshop in Malaysia in September/October.
8. GlobalMET meetings and a conference or seminar to be held in Manila in conjunction with the 15th Asia Pacific Manning & Training Conference in late November.
9. The web portal to be further amended to ensure improved gathering and prompt posting of items of interest; the portal to be more attractive and usable as a major MET learning resource centre.
10. Review of overall design of the GlobalMET Newsletter with a view to introducing changes with the January 2015 issue.
11. Consideration of establishing a GlobalMET Facebook page to publicise the network and generate debate on MET matters.
These initiatives by a self-funded, global network formed by the MET providers themselves is for a significant program of activity, essential to addressing much needed development of MET. By acting collectively with a common ‘voice’, we the MET providers, can influence development, to the benefit of all participants in the shipping industry and the industry overall. Your institution will benefit through participation in this major MET initiative. GlobalMET will benefit through having you involved.
