Abstract
This paper discusses reflections on the recent developments in the maritime sector and the expectations of the stakeholders on maritime education and training in terms of logistics curriculum. The study is based on the survey results that were obtained within the frame of MINE-EMI* Project, which aims to create an international graduate program for maritime universities. The survey in the project was replied to by 225 stakeholders from 5 countries. Its results showed that the courses in the new module should mainly focus on more efficient and fast cargo handling systems, effective use of technology in port management, multimodal transport regulations, and updating port facilities. Modification of the curriculum by taking the needs and expectations of the sector into consideration will not only enable the institutions to give more effective education to help the graduates meet the challenges of the future but also equip them with a curriculum for sustainable development in the maritime sector.
