Summary/Abstract: The maritime industry plays a critical role in global trade, contributing significantly to the world economy and facilitating the movement of goods and people across the world. As the industry evolves with technological advancements, climate change, and sustainability demands, maritime education must also adapt. To ensure the long-term sustainability of this sector, it’s imperative to develop comprehensive strategies for maritime education. These strategies must focus on fostering a skilled and adaptable workforce while promoting environmental stewardship, technological innovation, and global collaboration. Traditional educational models, while foundational, may not sufficiently equip students with the skills and knowledge needed to address contemporary challenges. Alternative educational models offer innovative approaches to enhance the sustainability and relevance of maritime education. This study explores several such models and their potential impact on the industry.
