C.3.4. Emerging Technologies : The role of technology is not limited to the production of manpower for the organized shipping sector alone; it must also cater for the needs of the infrastructure and service sectors as well as the unorganized and small sectors such as marine related fields (offshore, fishing, ocean engineering). The scope of enhancing productivity in these sectors by induction of improved technology is considerable. Most technical institutions in our country today deal with conventional technologies and disciplines.
We should constantly monitor the developments in emerging technologies and recommend changes in the curriculum and allocation of proper funds for development of infrastructure facilities.
