Abstract

Building a maritime power is a major national strategy in the new era of China. The fields of maritime transportation, ocean governance, maritime security, and port shipping have raised higher, more specialized, and more refined requirements for high-quality technical and skilled talents. As one of the core disciplines serving the maritime power strategy, Maritime Management Technology undertakes the important mission of cultivating interdisciplinary technical and skilled talents with modern maritime governance capabilities, shipping management competencies, maritime emergency response skills, and international perspectives. Currently, China's Maritime Management Technology programs still face critical issues such as a significant disconnection from dynamic industry demands, insufficient innovation capabilities, and low internationalization levels in fundamental areas including talent cultivation objectives, curriculum systems, practical teaching, faculty teams, and industry-education integration. Based on the strategic requirements of maritime power development, this paper comprehensively analyzes emerging trends in the global maritime industry and the new characteristics of contemporary talent demands. To address these pressing challenges, it constructs an excellence-oriented talent cultivation model for Maritime Management Technology from six fundamental aspects: precise training positioning, optimized curriculum systems, advanced practical platforms, highly qualified faculty teams, deep industry-education integration, and comprehensive evaluation mechanisms. Ultimately, this comprehensive framework provides robust theoretical references and actionable practical pathways for the high-quality development and sustainable advancement of maritime-related programs at both vocational and higher vocational undergraduate educational levels.
