The initiative to form an Asia Pacific regional association grew out of a series of informal gatherings, initiated with the meeting of Heads of Maritime Education and Training Institutions in Asia Pacific, convened and hosted by the Australian Maritime College in 1989. The establishment of AMETIAP arose from the participants’ desire to support the aims and objectives of IMO for 'safer ships and cleaner oceans' and recognition of: * the vital importance of maritime education and training in fulfilling the needs of expanding trade and economic growth in the Asia Pacific region; * the urgent need for collective efforts in maritime education and training to promote greater safety at sea and protection of the marine environment. The aim of GlobalMET is to promote, develop and support in the spirit of cooperation the common interests of its members in all matters concerning the development and quality of maritime education and training.
