Quality Standards System of MET in Turkey White List of IMO since 1995 European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) assessment since 2006 Correspondance dated May 2010 between EU / Directorate General Mobility and Transport AND Undersecretariat of Maritime Affairs of Turkey - Turkey has been found to comply with the requirements of the STCW Convention - the EU recognition of the Turkish MET and Certification System is consequently extended in accordance with the provisions of Directive 106/2008/EC. 23/43

GENERAL STRENGTHS OF MET IN TURKEY - Cadet quality and quantity - Academical staff quality and devotion - Research and consultancy capacity - Support of administration and shipowners - Active participation and leadership at International MET Platforms such as (IMO, IAMU, IMLA, IAME) - Strong International bilateral cooperation with IAMU MET Universities - Independent Assessment 24/43

SOME WEAKNESSES OF MET IN TURKEY Insufficient number of academicians with seafaring background due to symbolic government salaries Maintainability / Sustainability of facilities due to modest government budget Bureaucracy yielding in inefficient utility of the MET potential 25/43
