Lloyd’s Maritime Academy, Ship Management

The trend towards outsourcing of ship management services over the past 20 years has created a knowledge gap in shipping companies which once operated a top-to-bottom system to support their fleet. Rodger MacDonald, secretary general of the International Federation of Shipmasters’ Associations and course director of the Lloyd’s Maritime Academy Diploma in Ship Management says additional education is vital in helping seafarers make the transition to best-of-breed ship managers. “In recent years, competitive pressures have caused many shipowners to contract out some of their services to ship management companies. This has removed the opportunity for their employees who would like to develop a career in ship management, at a time when the industry is crying out for good managers,” he said.
