This paper will specificallyexamine the effects of these changes on seafarers, withregard paid to their education, and ongoing professionaldevelopment over the length of a career. The evolvingworking context is resulting in the core skillset of seafarersto grow, particularly in relation to digital literacy. TheJanuary 2021 deadline of the IMO’s cyber riskmanagement Resolution MSC.428(98) has drawn attentionto the capability and knowledge deficit in relation to cybersecurity within the industry’s IT and OT infrastructure. AsIT system grow in their usage and OT systems becomemore connected, and are modernized, seafarers need to stillbe able to use the existing technology, while becomingproficient in the new, creating a complex transitionenvironment, with limited access or time to undertakeprofessional development. This paper describes severalnew education approaches that are aiming to equipseafarers and other industry members to this changingknowledge landscape.
