SECRETARY General of the International Maritime Organisation , Mr Kitack Lim, has commended the Caribbean Maritime UniversityNigerian Maritime University, Okerenghigho, Delta State.
In an interview with JIS News during his recent tour of the institution, Mr Lim noted that different areas of knowledge are being merged, and encouraged the IMO- certified university to continue to blaze a trail in maritime education.We are now seeing the convergence of different disciplines producing areas of study, such as nautical engineering, being combined with computer digitalisation and telecommunications,” he added.
The IMO Head said that the university, which operates a logistics faculty and provides manpower for the logistics industry, including port operations, could combine all knowledge and expertise from different faculties to produce high-quality graduates. He pointed out that the shipping business is changing and that educational institutions, such as the CMU, should work towards preparing students for the inevitable changes.In the past, the ship operating companies would look after seafarers’ issues, such as recruiting and training. What is now happening is that functions such as seafarers’ welfare and ensuring implementation of IMO conventions have been delegated to ship management companies,” Mr Lim said.
According to Mr Lim, the CMU graduates can help to diversify the logistics industry and port operations, not only in Jamaica but across the world. “So, once you produce those students who are well equipped with a wealth of knowledge, doors are very much open to Jamaica, because Jamaicans are good people, kind and serious, with a sincere attitude. You already have a good command of the English language, with a good educational background,” he said.
