In the last two, three decades we can observe revolutionary development of technology, including global shipping industry. The Author, as the chairman of the Poland Branch of The Nautical Institute, a member of several expert groups of International Maritime Organization (IMO), rector of Gdynia Maritime University, one of the leading Maritime Education and Training (MET) institutions in the World, as well as the chair of the International Association of Maritime University (IAMU), tries to discuss how the maritime education sector can adapt and respond effectively to technological development, including Maritime Autonomous Surface Shipping (MASS). Key considerations cover a balance between traditional maritime skills and the integration of new technology in education. New technology requires digital literacy and advanced system management. Shift is needed from manual operations to supervisory roles over automated systems. Automation may reduce demand for traditional seafaring roles but create new tech-based roles. Legal frameworks and certifications need to catch up with tech developments. The author argues that a balanced approach is needed, combining new technological education with traditional maritime skills. The education sector must be proactive, working closely with industry to stay up to date. Preparing the workforce for hybrid roles is essential for the future of the maritime industry.
