I believe that the maritime education is very important in our

life. The majority of people would like to travel by luxury liners, to enjoy the ocean beauty. A lot of scientific expeditions use the sea transport for theirs researches. Especially the discovery of new kinds of sea animals and plants plays a meaningful role in biology and botany. Besides, I didn’t mention about cargo transitions. Sea shipping is the most effective and the most commonly used type of cargo delivery. Due to maritime education there is a great opportunity for training good specialists. It is important for productive port activity, which helps to develop cooperation between countries of Asian-Pacific rim. Of course the maritime industry has a huge influence on the world economy.

several versions, some of them are very fictional, may be even crazy, but I had fun imagining it.

First of all, people need to get to the areas which

are difficult to reach. These districts may be full of treasures of the soil. I guess big ships and ice-breakers can help men to reach minerals, oil and others nature resources.

There is still the air communication in these districts. Certainly aircrafts are faster and more comfortable, according to public opinion. We have to consider the possibility of removal the maritime industry by air industry.

After the huge flight of fancy I wrote down some other

versions. For example, everyone knows about such insects as pond-skaters. Perhaps we will be able to move on the water exactly as pond-skaters do. May be we will use hydrofoil boats. Or constructors will build underwater subways. People will use these underwater tunnels for driving cars through the oceans.

Or just imagine another course of events: a lot of underwater

cities can be built! In this situation maritime education will be more necessary than ever! I don’t think it will happen soon but I admit the possibility of it in the far future.

Unfortunately I’m going to mention some pessimistic versions. Probably we will

pollute the Earth so much that there will be no choice but to purify water for drinking. Or ocean will dry out and we all will die. Or Nature will be really mad at humanity and apocalypse will come. It’s awful prediction but it can be.

In conclusion I want to say that the maritime education is

the most important and necessary thing in development of seaports. There are a lot of variants of maritime education’s future. We must construct new ships for education. We must train good specialists. We must be ready for everything. And we must have faith in the better things.
