Abstract

Maritime industry provide the basis for the growth and development of marine-related activities such as: ocean and
coastal shipping, port services, offshore oil and gas, inshore and offshore fisheries, marine culture, renewal energy
(current, wave, wind), naval defence and other marine related activities that need competence human capital
enrolment to manage, explore and exploit this resources in a sustainable manner. Maritime education provides
competence, highly skill and professional worker mainly in the shipping and port sector. Even though the maritime
industry is dynamically changing their environment (Facilities, technology and system), the present maritime
educations are of traditional manner with limited capacity of maritime facilities such as ports and ships. Until now,
not much on training work has been done at rationalising the number and optimizing the facilities in the maritime
education due to the escalating of the cost to maintain these facilities. Therefore the aims of this paper are to
determine the rationale to develop an offshore integrated teaching port as a new approach for the maritime
education system. The system via simulation approach is a tool for teaching maritime students how to be a
professional and ready to work on a real ship or port environment. This approach will offer alternatives to an
audience or maritime students hungry for fresh thinking in the maritime studies with a fresh training angle. In this
paper we will mimicry as closely as possible on real port environment, duplicating everything in the real port
operation towards an innovative approach in the Maritime Education and to determine the rationale of designing
offshore Teaching Port.
