3. MET in the Philippines
• 95 CHED –accredited maritime colleges
• 280,000 graduates annually
• Maritime research
– Few; mostly in social science disciplines (e.g.
educational research, behavioral or
anthropological research, etc)
– Rarely in STEMD (science, technology,
engineering, mathematics, and design) areas
• A research-engaged faculty are needed to
improve quality of MET schools and
graduates

4. Filipino Mariners
Philippines, manning capital of the
world - 28% seafarers worldwide with
368,158 seafarers in 2011 & 1.4 M
Filipinos in world maritime industry
Adv tech in the shipping industry–
METIs need to enhance the
seafarers’ skills on board for SOLAS
GIS - valuable to marine officers to
maintain smooth maritime operations
– deck/engine officers, port planners,
administrators, Ship managers,
/personnel etc

13. GST Applications to MARITIME –
In MARITIME CONFERENCES
Sharing of GIS-papers during maritime conferences e.g. Geo Maritime & TRANSNAV
GIS-based papers demonstrate the benefits of integrated use of
satellite & GIS technologies on ships to various options of using
other electronic navigation systems
TRANSNAV 2013
Page 13
14. Challenges to Phil MET Schools
• 2010 STCW amendments - use of technology like ECDIS pressures
Philippine METIs to update their educational content
• Fulfill (or exceed) global maritime demand for quality manpower
• Maintain or (better) increase global Filipino manpower share
• Enhance content and delivery of MET course curricula (e.g. Not just
comply but exceed STCW and other standards)
• Hire faculty with advanced degrees in maritime (!)
• Hire faculty with substantial deck and engine experience in modern
fully-equipped ocean-going vessels
• Continually train faculty in emerging maritime technologies (e.g.
GIS, AIS, GNSS, ECDIS, Digital Chart & Mapping, etc.)
• Push faculty to engage in maritime research in STEMD (science,
technology, engineering, math, and design)
• Increase participation of Philippine MET faculty and researchers in
maritime conferences, here and abroad
Page 14
15. Introducing GIS in Phil MET
• GIS – a technology already widely applied in many
maritime applications
• GIS can help develop MET schools
• GIS can enhance academic capabilities through
– Teaching maritime and related courses:
• Teaching of GIS
• Teaching with GIS
– Maritime research
• GIS can streamline campus management
– Physical facilities and asset management
– Campus natural-resource management
– Result: Improved efficiency and reduced cost
Page 15
16. So what is GIS?
• GIS is a computerized
system
– Used to analyze the
relationships between
people, places, things,
activities, and events
– Represented by several data
layers that have common
geographic reference on
earth
– Can simulate future
scenarios before seeing the
actual event

18. Maritime Spatial Data Infrastructure (MSDI)
• Synonymous with GIS
• A composite of geospatial data,
software tools, and metadata for
efficient use of information.
• Assists for the planning, implementation,
and assessment of spatially related
content of maritime studies
• Includes spatial information about
marine transportation, port facilities,
maritime security, marine hazards and
incidents, MET students and alumni,
greenhouse gas emissions, and
environmental and meteorological data
Page 18
19. EXAMPLES OF MARITIME GST USES
Based on the 2007-2012 TRANSNAV scientific papers - 54
refereed papers, it can be surmised that the maritime industry
employs GIS technologies in areas such as:
1. GPS and GPS-enabled communication systems
2. ECDIS
3. Automatic Identification System (AIS)
4. Remote sensing imagery

graduate programs (MSMT and MSMarE)
Core courses can be enhanced with the integration of GIS
topics relevant for future deck officers, faculty, and
researchers
TRANSNAV 2013
Page 23
24. Where GIS can be integrated in
MET

(e.g. location of events, people, and things)
• Some MET/MAAP courses where GIS can be integrated:
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
–
Information and communications technology (ICT)
Transportation routes
Meteorology
Oceanography

25. ACADEMIC CAPABILITY
ENHANCEMENT USING GIS
MAAP spearheaded institutional enhancement made
possible thru capability building on GIS
GIS mentor: Dr. Alejandro F Tongco, GIS Specialist from
Oklahoma State University, had served as technical adviser,
facilitator and trainer on GIS, organized by MAAP at various
venues:
Philippine Navy Education and Training Compound
(March 7-10,201)
Bataan Provincial Hall (March 13-16, 2012)
MAAP and BPSU community (March 12, 17, 21-24, 2012)
other HEIs (March 26-29, 2012)
MAAP-DRES on the other hand trained the participants on
how to write a GIS-based research project proposal

26. ACADEMIC CAPABILITY
ENHANCEMENT USING GIS
“the real power of GIS is in analyzing the relationships of
people, places, things, and events using several spatially
referenced data layers representing the earth” (Dr. Al Tongco)
the maritime components:
people (e.g., mariners, maritime and shipping personnel,
and MET students and faculty)
places (e.g., ship destination, ports, shipping lanes,
mariner’s and student’s addresses, and MET schools
things (e.g. ships and watercraft, marine infrastructures and
installations, protected marine sanctuaries, artificial reefs)
events (e.g. transport routes/networks, hazards & incidents
including fire, shipwrecks, groundings, oil & chemical spills,
piracy)
Page 26
TRANSNAV 2013
27. ACADEMIC CAPABILITY
ENHANCEMENT USING GIS
analysis and finding innovative ways, means and solutions to
the shipping industry’s global challenges (GIS in maritime
research and database management)
integration of GIS techniques in METIs (GST competency
model by the GeoTech Center (2012)
improving the teaching methodologies and curriculum content
Equip maritime graduates with GIS skills are not only honed
with spatial analytical competence, but are more at ease as
well with equipment and activities in the workplace that use
GIS ( software skills)
Provide graduates the opportunity to be analytical thinkers and
to train them to be future researchers in the wide ocean of
maritime research ( engage them in GIS –based R &D)

USING GIS TECHNIQUES
improve management processes to realize cost savings
takes advantage and produces valuable information about
the unique geographic locations and inter-relationships
among people, places, things, and events in the campus
development and management of a central spatial database
of all buildings and assets within the campus
allows for a fast and easy query, visualization and reporting
about the campus’ physical resources
data access for faculty, staff, researchers, and students
enhanced communication and cooperation between
departments, offices, faculty, staff, students, & administration
Applicable to all campus
TRANSNAV 2013

30. IMPROVING MET CAMPUS MANAGEMENT
USING GIS TECHNIQUES
workflows become more efficient and
resources are efficiently allocated
Planning, monitoring, and assessment of
campus resources are better informed
through GIS
information is more accurate as a result of
GIS analysis
GIS data can be visualized and thus
minimizes guesswork on factors involved in
campus processes
overall result is increased campus
productivity and economic efficiency.

37. CONCLUDING REMARKS
An introduction into how GIS can be integrated in the MET
curriculum, in research, and in campus management has
been discussed.
GIS can be introduced initially as one of the topics within
existing maritime-related courses and can be used as a tool
in field research work.
With GIS-skilled faculty and staff researchers, GIS-based
maritime researches can be developed.
A GIS-based campus management system can grow hand in
hand with that of GIS in teaching, research and extension
services, constantly nourishing and building each other’s
knowledge base toward an institution-wide integration of GIS
technologies.

38. What next?
• Institutionalization of GIS
• Embedding GIS in the mission of a MET
school
• Adoption of GIS in teaching, research, and
campus management
