The Global Association of Maritime Education and Training (GlobalMET) is a network established in 1996 by maritime education providers in the region. 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.

Safety at Sea Ltd (SaS) is a consulting company of naval architects and marine engineers specialising in the stability, design and safe operation of ships and advanced marine vehicles. The company is a commercial enterprise operating within the premises and in partnership with the University of Strathclyde through the Ship Stability Research Centre (SSRC), a world-leading centre of excellence on ship safety. During the early years of operation, SOLAS ‘90 and Stockholm Agreement upgrading has been the mainstream business of Safety at Sea. An excellent working relationship with its clients, based on close and effective collaboration, led Safety at Sea to capture 70% of the north-European market, and to succeed in building an unparalleled reputation as a team able to produce cost-effective and practical design solutions. In the wake of this initial success, Safety at Sea has now moved forward towards the full utilisation of the technology developed by SSRC in all aspects of ship design and operation, including: hull hydrodynamics, structural strength, seakeeping, manoeuvring, comfort, general arrangements, systems design, powering and propulsion. Naturally, ship safety still remains the core of Safety at Sea’s expertise, dealing with such diverse aspects such as intact and damaged stability, mustering and evacuation, structural reliability and fire safety.
