MSOSH Gold Merit Award winner for 2022 under the category of Educational Sectors, Petroleum, Gas, Petrochemical & Allied Sectors which is equivalent to an Excellent OSH Performance • Recertified with ISO 9001 by SIRIM • No NC recorded MOVING FORWARD 2023 will be a challenging year for ALAM, as we foresee the potential rise in unemployment which could affect student employability upon graduation. Industry volatility is causing shipping and oil and gas companies to limit their training budgets, as the world readies itself for a potential recession. Competition within the maritime education and training sector has also intensified, as players vie for students/ clients in an increasingly difficult economic landscape. ALAM plans to continue focusing on STCW and other related courses including revalidation courses. While we will maintain our efforts in ports and terminal simulation study and research projects. For the year ahead, ALAM will expand our offerings by launching new homegrown programmes and franchise degrees for students keen to gain knowledge and pursue a career in the maritime industry and as a pathway for returning seafarers seeking shore career opportunities. We will also revise our current offerings and design new modular courses to meet evolving and changing industry demands and requirements in order to remain relevant and competitive. Within a competitive sector, we will continue to promote and enhance our appeal to potential students and clients by leveraging on virtual teaching and learning methods and expand industry demand course offerings. Technology will remain as one of our core areas of focus for 2023, as we attempt to fully utilise our IT ecosystem which will enable us to deliver our courses and programmes efficiently. As a maritime education provider, ALAM believes in contributing to the overall academic environment by sharing our unique areas of expertise. In 2022, three faculty members were selected to represent Malaysia along with representatives from the Ministry of Transport and MARDEP at the 8th Session of the International Maritime Organisation’s (IMO) Sub-committee Meeting On Human Element, Training And Watchkeeping. As well as that, ALAM continued to share our knowledge and expertise through articles, paper presentations and webinars as follows: • Published seven articles in indexed journals • Presented papers at 3 international conferences • Conducted five webinars on emerging marine technology On top of that, ALAM also published our own publications which were disseminated among our internal stakeholders as follows: • ALAM’s Journal Of Maritime Studies 3rd Edition published in June 2022 covering maritime related areas such as maritime safety, maritime technology and informatics, maritime management, marine engineering, and maritime education • Two e-editions of the Zenith Newsletter covering the themes “ALAM Empowering Female Maritime Professionals” and “New Technologies for Greener Shipping” MARITIME EDUCATION & TRAINING Business Review Business Review 143 142 MISC Berhad Integrated Annual Report 2022
