IMO designated 2010 as “Year of the Seafarer” and also launched its “Go to Sea!” campaign in 2008, in co-operation with key maritime stakeholders, to attract entrants to the shipping industry. In this situation, this seminar, which featured presentations from specialists from the maritime industry, academic community and governments around the world, provided a forum to address “the problem of the global shortage of seafarers” and “the role of the shipping industry through CSR activities” from the viewpoint of contributing towards sound development of the shipping industry. The outcome of the research on the “Future Global Supply and Demand for Seafarers and Possible Measures to Facilitate Stakeholders to Secure a Quantity of Quality Seafarers” undertaken by the JITI & The Nippon Foundation was also introduced in the seminar.
