State Minister for Shipping Khalid Mahmud Chowdhury today
said the government has a plan to set up three more marine academies in the
country aiming to develop skilled manpower for operating commercial ships.
"As per the instructions given by the Prime Minister,
the government will establish three more marine academies for developing
skilled sailors," he said.
The state minister said this while attending a meeting on
development, financial and administration affairs of Bangladesh Marine
Academies located at Chattogram, Barishal, Rangpur, Sylhet and Pabna held at
the ministry's conference room here.
"We will develop skilled sailors as the country has
ample scope to produce expert sailors and it will help us to earn huge foreign
currency," said the state minister who chaired the meeting.
The meeting also discussed various things including land
requisition, manpower appointment, budget, simulator purchase of the four new
marine academies.
A total of 359 marine cadets who have passed from 54th batch
of the Bangladesh Marine Academy have already been recruited by local and
foreign ships, he said, adding "the female cadets have also got
appointment in the US, Australia and Singaporean ships."
There was only one marine academy in Chattogram, now the
country has five marine academies. Affiliated by Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur
Rahman Maritime University, the new four other marine academies are Barishal,
Rangpur, Sylhet and Pabna.
The ministry's high officials including Secretary of the
Shipping Ministry M Mostafa Kamal and Commandants of the marine academy, among
others, attended the function through zoom platform.
