Abstract

The projection on the demand for seafarers is seen to continue to rise in consonance with the world's fleet increasing tonnage. It is also expected that recurring officer shortages is paramount when global markets bounce off from the economic downturn it experienced for the last few years. In BIMCO/ISF(The Baltic and International Maritime Conference/International Shipping Federation) report for 2010, a continuous effort to produce competent seafarers should be adapted and as much as possible, reduce the wastage in the industry to address the looming scenario. The Republic of Korea, an OECD member, is a powerhouse in shipbuilding industry and has also had continued to show also an expanding trend in its fleet. On the other hand, the Philippines is still acknowledged as the main source of manpower for ocean-trading vessels. In this paper, a statistical comparison of maritime graduates' career path between the two countries is presented. In conclusion, it is suggested that a mutual co-operation between the Republic of Korea and the Philippines can be established with focusing on international maritime education and training collaboration.

전 세계적으로 선복량의 증가와 더불어 선원의 수요는 지속적인 증가세가 예상된다. 또한 지난 몇 년 동안 경험해 왔던 바와 같이 세계 경기가 회복세로 돌아설 때 해기사 부족 현상이 재발될 것이 우려된다. 발틱국제해사협의회(BIMCO)와 국제해운연맹(ISF)의 2010년 보고에는 유능한 해기사를 양성해내기 위한 지속적인 노력을 경주하는 것이 불확실한 시나리오에 대비하여 산업계의 손실을 줄일 수 있을 것이라고 밝혔다. OECD회원국인 한국은 조선산업의 강국이며 또한 해운선단의 지속적인 확장세를 보여주고 있는 나라이다. 한편, 필리핀은 여전히 상선 인력의 주공급원으로 인식되어 있다. 이 논문에서는 두 나라 해양계 졸업생들의 진로에 관한 통계적 비교를 살펴보았다. 결론적으로, 국제 해사 교육 및 실습에 관한 교류협력에 초점을 맞춘 한국과 필리핀사이의 상호 협력 관계가 확립되어야 한다고 제안한다.
