Additionally, the Academy holds regular discussions with the authorities and industry towards improving courses and training programmes. As an example there are consultations and discussions with the Marine Department on curriculum and syllabus contents. Several views have been expressed and recommendations made. The Academy also maintains close liaison with the industry through regular meetings with sponsors where feedback on students' performance is obtained.

One of. the aspects observed through these initiatives is the need for greater focus on safety, environment, economics and management.
