This work could not have been possible without the aid of the permanent staff of the university, visiting proffessors as well as the facilities offered by different countries to ensure success of the field trips program. I would like to express my sincere thanks and gratitude to proffessor C. .MATHIEU , leader of the Enginnering Maritime Education group ( MED-E )for his supervision on this work. I feel greatly indepted to him for his guidance, patience, encouragement and for the free time he offered to guide and to di.rect this course of study. I am extremely grateful to the Engineering Studies Depart­ ment staff members of the Arab Maritime Transport Academy who gave hand in data collection and took share in suggesting solutions for some problems that faced this work. o - a o - o - o o - u - .. u.o-..--a.au.ao.-oa......

Z§5€~3‘FlI%3[35©‘F ABSTRACT The main objective of this work is to suggest the most feasible proposals for developing the Egyptians maritime education system to aChieVeComplete agreement with the regulations and requirements of the International Convention on Standards of Training Certification and Watchkeeping of Seafarers, 1978. The work commences by illustrating the importance of Egypt's international ?'situation, and describing the nature of Egyptian coasts. A classification of Egyptian ports, thier capacities and capabilities is given, in,addition to a review of the various obsticles facing the ideal utilisation of these ports. Moreover, a demonstration of the Higher Council of Ports that supervises and co-ordinates the plans of all org­ anisations, administrations and authorities that are responsible for ports‘ operation and development is included. The second chapter is concerned with the Egyptian fleet and foreign trade. A review is carried out of the reasons that lead to the fleet's lack of technological development. Analysis is held of the fleet's present situation and the availabilities for the future development. This analysis catigorises the different types of the modern ships joining the Egyptian fleet according to which recommendations should be established for the regulations of maritime education in order to create suitably trained crews to suit the advanced ships‘ technology. A forecast of Egypt's foreigntrade till year 2000 is included. The third chapter deals with the importance attached to the problem of maritime education and training with particular reference to developing countries. It briefly demonstrates some of the education systems in 4 developed countries chosen in such a way to cover the various internationally applied education andtraining systems. The forth chapter discusses the hystorical background of maritime education in Egypt as well as the governmental regulations for certification of seafarers. The circomstances of the Arab Maritime Transport Acad­ emy establishment are recorded. A review of its various activities and capabilities provided. The chapter ends with proposals for achieving optimum educational objectives. Finally, ; an approach is provided for the concept of conjuncting theoretical education to practical sea training, in addition to a proposal for a guided sea training programme that suits the Egyptian's maritime education syste m .
