A partially liberal policy was experienced beginning from 1952, and a planned development period has started since 1962. This study is aimed at investigating the principles and targets for the maritime sector beginning from the first five-year development plan to the current plan including 2013, and evaluating whether the stated targets have been achieved or not. Moreover it is also planned to investigate the maritime transportation and to state the new opportunities and current issues about Turkey briefly.

Shipping industry is growing regularly and regulative bodies of the industry put more emphasis on safety and environmental management of ships and ship management companies. With regard to the short-age of human resource officers, which will be continued by following years according to latest surveys, ship-ping industry has hard times to employ qualified officers in their fleets. Especially for chemical tanker ships, it is needed more qualified seafarers regarding to the environmental and safety concern of public and industry. Therefore, training of seafarers has become more important then ever before. Training of seafarers in office environment before sea period is as important as training at training institutions and on-the-job training. Therefore, measuring of seafarers’ performance and planning of individual training programs for each seafarer has become more important than ever. In order to develop the quality of seafarer training and consequently maintaining safe and profitable shipping, the factors which are important for evaluating the chemical tanker crew are determined and clustered in hier-archical manner; the weighting of factors for each rank are observed by utilizing Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) Method; the trainings which should be given to seafarers related to scores of evaluation factors are determined then the Seafarer Evaluation and Training Software DEPEDES (SETS) is created by utilizing Visual Basic Software. In this study, the content of SETS software is evaluated with details. Consequently, the main aim of this study is to maintain safe chemical tanker shipping by utilizing SETS software.

Based on the technological initiatives among Maritime Higher Training and Education (MHET) institutions, this study explored the attitudes of academicians, senior lecturers and lecturers in Maritime Faculty of Istanbul Technical University toward information and communication technologies (ICT). The findings suggest that academicians, senior lecturers and lecturers have positive attitudes toward ICT in MHET institutions. This study constitutes firstly the definition of e-learning with the existing advantages and their integration methodology to higher education institutions via by MHET application. Then training and education system based management are discussed with IT applications to clearly identify the e-learning communities into maritime education. The outcomes for the utilization of communication in MHET are proposed not only with full time training model but also e-learning concept. Consequently the opportunities of e-learning with MHET are proposed for enable the institutions to benchmark their existing applications.
