Abstract

This paper presents a meticulous analysis of the UNCTAD's 2019 data pertaining to commercial ships, with a particular focus on Chinese-funded vessels. The objective is to assess their status and further predict the demand for shipping talents within the Hainan Free Trade Port. Notably, it is revealed that approximately 34.91% of the Chinese-funded ocean-going ships operate under flags of convenience, representing a substantial share of 55.9% in terms of tonnage. In order to address this situation and enhance the attractiveness of Hainan for vessel registration, a comprehensive "master plan" has been devised. Recent statistics indicate a favorable trend towards a reversal in this trend, with more Chinese-funded ships choosing to register in Hainan. Consequently, there is a pronounced demand for skilled shipping talents within the free trade port.

Furthermore, this article delves into the intricate nuances of nautical technology vocational education, both domestically and internationally. It underscores the crucial role of skilled professionals who possess a global perspective and offers suggestions for fostering international collaboration and enhancing educational resources. Additionally, it identifies and discusses the challenges encountered in the Hainan Free Trade Port, along with proposed measures for improvement. The article emphasizes the imperative for responsive reforms to ensure that educational competencies are aligned with global standards. The implementation of these measures is anticipated to bring about transformative changes in nautical technology education within the Hainan Free Trade Port, thereby contributing significantly to the overall progress of the maritime industry globally.
