times the land mass
 Extensive offshore interest (islands, Antarctic,
marine and offshore oil and gas resources)
 Leads in Africa’s intra-regional and Africa’s
international trade
 Key partners (BRICS) major regional maritime
powers with vast maritime interests and capabilities
in sea trade, commerce and naval influence

INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES
…Challenges facing the Maritime Sector
South Africa = 0 Ships vs. Global = > 50,000
merchant vessels
•
Over 80% of world trade is seaborne, handled by a
fleet of over 50,000 merchant vessels;
?
South Africa = about 1,500 vs. Global = 1,4 million
Seafaring Jobs
•
The world fleet of over 50,000 employs about 1,4
million seafarers;
South Africa’s unemployed = 40%
•
There are shortages of about 250,000 ie 34,000
officers and 224,000 ratings];
…Challenges facing the Maritime Sector
South African port mariners = about 1,500
•
On board the 12,000 merchant ships
visiting the South African ports annually,
they carry about 240,000 seafarers who
transport and handle our imports and
exports (98% of total trade);
South African transport & handling of
cargo= 0
• South Africa’s seaborne cargo constitutes
a significant 3,5% of the global sea trade.
C. Maritime Sector Skills Landscape
Detailed findings...scarce and critical
Skills …

Maritime Skills Study
 Revealed
potential of a Maritime HRD Strategy and
Plan to address critical shortages of skills, to protect
current jobs and to provide catalyst for sector
growth across 7 sub-sectors:


Maritime Transport
Maritime Resources (oil and gas, fishing and aquaculture,
pharmaceuticals and renewable energy)

Maritime Tourism and Leisure

Operational Support

Marine Manufacturing and Construction Including Technologies

Commercial Support and Business Services

Public Interest
Findings of the Maritime Skills Study…

Unfavourable legislative regime, bureaucracy,
governance, taxation and ranking and
mortgages

Limited research and benchmarking

Limited ability to provide berths for cadets

Lack of maritime business skills

Limited type of training offered

Low quality of training

Ageing maritime workforce
Findings of the Maritime Skills Study…

Inadequate on the job training

A fragmented sector

Lack of subsidies hence high cost of training

Job security and unclear career pathing



Insufficient globally competitive maritime sector
infrastructure
Inadequate high calibre of teachers and no
mechanism to access good teachers; and
Lack of consolidated national maritime
database

Maritime Skills Summit
Communication and Awareness
Increase awareness of the maritime sector through effective
communication
Ensure that learners are provided with career guidance so that they
can make informed choices
Basic Education
Ensure that all schools in SA offer Maritime Studies at the basic
education level and that each province has a dedicated and specialised
maritime school
Develop and expand network of specialised Maritime High Schools (10
new schools by 2016)
FET Colleges
Empower Public FET Colleges to offer maritime education and training
programmes.
Higher Education and Training
Integrate Maritime Training and Learning in the institutions of higher
learner
Develop Maritime Institute with branches throughout the country
Research, Development and
Innovation
Develop research, knowledge and innovation base for the industry with
research organisations and institutions of higher learning.
Leading transformed Maritime Hub nation through establishing
innovation hubs in the Industrial Development Zone
Industry Issues and Seafarers
Develop, maintain and provide sustainable demand and opportunities
driven by the maritime skills and increase capacity for the production of
seafarers



Build capacity within HETs to provide
maritime education and training in all
subsectors of the industry
Explore offering of undergraduate degrees
in marine technology, engineering, maritime
business and management, nautical
sciences and technology, maritime law and
logistics
Collaboration in upgrading maritime
engineering skills by converting mechanical

maritime research to support the
development of the sector and state
capacity to position and regulate the sector
in economic, environment, social and
defence
Collaboration in strengthening capacity for
the development of seafarers
