This study investigates the effectiveness of maritime vocational education in preparing graduates to meet the evolving demands of the industry, focusing on competency development, sustainability integration, and practical readiness. The research addresses the increasing need for training programs to align with global industry standards while incorporating sustainable practices to manage environmental and operational challenges. By integrating insights from maritime professionals, educators, graduates, and regulatory officers, the study provides a comprehensive and grounded analysis. The research explores how maritime education equips graduates with industry-relevant skills and incorporates sustainability into training frameworks. Using a qualitative approach, the study involved interviews with 10 stakeholders and thematic analysis of their experiences. Findings indicate strong outcomes in practical readiness (score: 9.3/10), supported by immersive sea-going experiences and hands-on training. However, sustainability integration scored lower (8.6/10), highlighting the need for a greater emphasis on environmental practices and sustainable operations within curricula. The results underscore the significance of collaboration between educational institutions and industry professionals to ensure training aligns with real-world demands. This study offers valuable recommendations for curriculum design and sustainability practices, contributing to a well-prepared and environmentally conscious maritime workforce. The findings serve as a foundation for policy development, institutional strategies, and further research into vocational training and sustainable maritime operations.
 

The growing complexity of maritime operations demands deck officers with advanced competencies and a strong understanding of sustainability principles. This study addresses critical gaps in maritime vocational education by exploring the effectiveness of current training programs, the integration of sustainability, and the role of technology-driven approaches. While previous research has focused on technical skills aligned with STCW standards, limited attention has been paid to leadership, communication, and environmental education. The research sought to answer how maritime training can be enhanced to address these gaps. Using a systematic literature review and qualitative analysis of insights from maritime professionals, educators, and graduates, the study synthesized theoretical frameworks with real-world experiences. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and questionnaires, analyzed using thematic coding, and triangulated with findings from the literature review. The results demonstrate strong technical training aligned with STCW standards but reveal fragmented sustainability integration and inadequate leadership preparation. Simulation-based training was identified as highly effective, though it requires support from mentorship and real-world experiences. The findings provide actionable recommendations for enhancing curricula, fostering industry-academic partnerships, and refining policies to better prepare deck officers for modern maritime challenges. This research offers a practical roadmap for transforming maritime education, ensuring safety, operational efficiency, and sustainability in global maritime operations.

This research investigates the influence of fuel atomizer performance on maintaining ship diesel engine performance, focusing on ANT (Nautika - Deck Officers) and ATT (Teknika - Engine Officers) students at STIP Jakarta. The study aims to analyse the practices related to the Planned Maintenance System (PMS) and their impact on fuel atomizer performance among these student officers. Qualitative research methods, including questionnaires, were employed to collect data from ANT and ATT students. The Likert scale was used to measure attitudes, opinions, and perceptions regarding fuel atomizer performance and PMS practices. The research highlights the critical role of fuel atomizers in diesel engine optimization and underscores the importance of effective PMS practices. The findings provide valuable insights for enhancing ship diesel engine performance through improved maintenance strategies.

This research investigates the impact of English language acquisition on transportation literacy among transportation management students. Through qualitative analysis of interviews and document analysis, the study explores how proficiency in English influences students' comprehension of key transportation concepts. The findings reveal that English language proficiency significantly enhances students' understanding of complex transportation topics, such as logistics, safety regulations, and multimodal transportation systems. Integrating effective language learning strategies, such as real-world scenarios and interactive activities, into transportation management courses can bridge the gap between language proficiency and transportation literacy. Additionally, innovative assessment methods, such as performance-based assessments, offer a more comprehensive approach to evaluating students' language proficiency and its application in transportation contexts. The study recommends ongoing professional development for educators, collaboration with industry partners, and the promotion of multilingualism to enhance transportation literacy among students. By adopting these recommendations, educational institutions can ensure that transportation management students are equipped with the necessary language skills to succeed in an increasingly globalised and diverse transportation industry.

This research delves into the intricate dynamics of emotional intelligence among Semester 3 cadets at the esteemed Maritime Institute Jakarta (STIP Jakarta). As the maritime industry places increasing emphasis on holistic competence, this study investigates the intersection of emotional intelligence, academic self-assessment, professional competences, and motivations. Over a span of three semesters, approximately 18 months, 240 cadets were engaged in a qualitative exploration, providing insights into their perspectives on emotional intelligence within the unique context of maritime education. The findings reveal a compelling correlation between emotional intelligence and academic self-checks, indicating that cadets with higher emotional intelligence levels exhibit proactive approaches to academic responsibilities. Moreover, emotional intelligence emerges as a significant influencer of professional competences, with high levels associated with effective decision-making and adaptive leadership. Intrinsic motivations play a pivotal role in shaping emotional intelligence, aligning cadets' passion with career aspirations and fostering genuine dedication to the maritime industry. The implications of this research are far-reaching. The recognition of emotional intelligence as a critical factor in academic success suggests the need for tailored interventions within the maritime education curriculum. Integrating modules focused on emotional intelligence development can equip cadets with essential skills for academic resilience and effective professional navigation. Furthermore, the study recommends mentorship programs, intrinsic motivation enhancement strategies, and collaborative initiatives between educational institutions and industry stakeholders to foster a workforce adept at emotional intelligence and ready for the challenges of maritime management. While the research contributes valuable insights to the discourse on emotional intelligence in maritime education, it also highlights the need for continued exploration. Future research could broaden the scope to include diverse cadet populations and employ additional research methods to validate and extend the current findings. This study stands as a foundational step towards understanding and enhancing emotional intelligence among maritime professionals, positioning them as not only technically proficient but also resilient and adaptive leaders in the global maritime arena.
