The review makes recommendations on:

  • SMarT funding and the consequences of retaining or increasing the level of the subsidy
  • the development of an industry database to collect data from colleges and sponsors to track trainees and seafarers through their careers
  • to provide robust data on which government and industry can base strategic and policy decisions
  • changes to the current arrangements for funding ratings training

The recommendation to review the support for maritime training (SMarT) scheme was part of the recommendations of the maritime growth study published in September 2015.

This review was conducted by Frazer Nash and Oxford Economics and completed in February 2017.
