What is MarTID?

MarTID is a non-commercial initiative (founded jointly by the World Maritime University, Marine Learning Systems, and New Wave Media) to provide the industry with a global picture of maritime training. Improving safety is our common goal and we hope to do that by breaking down silos and sharing best-practice training insights across the industry.

The MarTID database will grow in breadth and depth annually with your participation, shining a light on the training approaches and successes of global vessel operators and training centers. Insightful, hard-to-get information inside the report include global trends in training budgets, training amount spent per seafarer and trends in training technologies and training models.

What’s new for MarTID in 2019?
The 2019 survey is designed to further the mission of MarTID 2018:  this year’s survey will be shorter and consist of two foci.

The first section of the survey will focus on collecting benchmark data tracked annually, revealing trends in core training issues. These include training budgets, training models, training staffing, the use of technology, major training initiatives, and seafarer demographics.

The second section will focus on this year’s special topic: the impact of autonomous vessel operations on maritime training. The 2019 MarTID survey will explore the perspectives of vessel operators/managers, maritime administrators, maritime training experts and seafarers.

What’s in it for me?
As was the case in 2018, the 2019 survey will be followed by a series of publicly-available reports, broadly published. These reports will provide both high-level and deep-dive information covering both broad trends as well as coverage of the 2019 special topic.

Vessel owner/operators will have a means to benchmark their own training initiatives.
Maritime training institutions will be able to better gauge future needs.
Seafarers will potentially have a clearer picture of evolving skills requirements.

The initiative requires community involvement to succeed. Your participation, approximately 20 minutes of your time, helps to broaden the depth of information.
