Problems addressed by the Project

The ocean-going seafarers, who practice in a global society and are often termed “transnational”, currently are able to find their employment not only in their own country, but also in other countries which admit the Certificate based upon STCW Convention 95. Presently, the Indonesian government is planning to have common standardized system to obtain Certificates together with 41 countries including Singapore, Panama, and the Philippines, etc. It was not possible, however, in February 2002 when the STCW Convention 95 was fully implemented, to achieve the worldwide standardization as required by the convention solely by the Indonesian government because of its limited national budget. As an example of such difficulty, the seafarers training of state-of-the-art marine technology and of other education are done only through chalk-and-talk even in BP3IP, the national maritime educational institute of Indonesia. It is clear that in terms of quality, seafarers training are falling behind the level of modern techniques and practices.
