The State Maritime and Port Agency held another meeting with seafarers serving in management-level positions on tanker vessels. During the meeting, participants received answers to their questions and exchanged views on a number of issues.
The main purpose of the meeting was to discuss existing opportunities and future prospects for fully staffing ships sailing under the State Flag of the Republic of Azerbaijan in international waters with Azerbaijani seafarers.
The discussions focused on strengthening the national human resource capacity in the maritime transport sector, improving Azerbaijani seafarers’ professional training in line with international standards, and expanding their employment opportunities in both local and international shipping industries.
Participants’ proposals and opinions were heard, while current challenges in the sector and possible measures to address them were also reviewed. Increasing the representation of Azerbaijani seafarers in the national fleet is expected to make a significant contribution to the development of maritime human resources, the strengthening of the country’s maritime transport potential, and the competitiveness of national specialists in the international labor market.
