The deployment of so-called intelligent vessels at sea can most be expected, if not in the coming years, then certainly in the coming decades. This will inevitably significantly change the requirements for seafarers, including the basis and principles of maritime education and training. This requires differentiation, diversification of the learning process and orientation towards solving non-standard including unique situations. Eventually, relevant regulations, first at all the STCW Convention, must accompany changes, such as defining different requirements and study content for people operating ships with varying degrees of digitalization. The author of this paper outlines key principles that he believes should be the pillars of maritime education in the coming digital age. The author’s main idea is that in order to successfully meet the new challenges for shipping in the digital age, the focus of maritime education and training must shift from formalized and unified education to creative and “big picture” capturing solutions.
