2021 年 11 月 11 日是中新（南通）國際海事培訓中心歷史上的一個重要里程碑，這一天，由新加坡海員聯合會、江蘇航運學院（前南通航運學院）以及新加坡森海海事共同建立的中新國際10歲了！

盡管面臨種種挑戰，過去十年中新國際在很多方面都是富有成果和成功的。在這短短十年里，中新國際已成為首屈一指的專業海事培訓機構。作為海事培訓機構中的佼佼者，我們通過提供實用的培訓，不斷提升高級船員、實習生和普通船員的能力，確保他們在船上能高效的完成工作任務。

11 Nov 2021 is a significant milestone in the history of the Singapore (Nantong) International Maritime Institute (SNIMI) as it marks our 10th Anniversary since we were established through the partnership of the Singapore Organisation of Seamen, the Jiangsu Shipping College (then Nantong Shipping College) and Singhai Marine Services Singapore in 2011. 

Despite challenges, the past 10 years have been a fruitful and successful journey for SNIMI in many ways. In this short span of time, SNIMI has established itself as a premier and professional maritime training institute. As one of the best maritime training institutes of its class, we provide realistic training to equip officers, cadets and ratings with the required competencies to perform their tasks more effectively and efficiently on board ships. 

在過去的十年中，我們的實力和能力不斷增強，獲得了許多贊譽。中新國際最初只能提供三項培訓課程，現在已能開展八個大類的培訓項目，包括海事增強培訓、輪機員培訓、航行培訓、普通船員培訓、海事英語培訓、管理能力培訓、海事勞工公約培訓以及海乘培訓。

We have grown in strength and capability, and garnered many accolades in the past 10 years. From offering just 3 training courses when we started, SNIMI now offers 8 categories of training programme, ranging from Maritime Enhancement Training Programme (METP), Marine Engineering Training Programme, Nautical Training Programme, Ratings Training Programme, Maritime English Training Programme, Management Training Programme, MLC Training Programme to Hospitality Training Programme.  

2011年我們只有4名教職員工，如今已建立了擁有50多名國內外教職員工的人才隊伍。在過去的十年里，中新國際開辦了900多期培訓課程，培訓學員超過1.5萬人。

海事行業是一個全球化的行業，國際化是中新國際作為海事培訓中心成功的關鍵之一。憑借新加坡海員聯合會和新加坡森海良好的國際聲譽，中新國際在不斷的努力之下成功地推動諸如馬來西亞海事學院、新加坡技術教育學院、緬甸商業海事學院、緬甸卓越海事培訓中心和斯里蘭卡海員培訓中心等海外培訓中心、學校和機構與江蘇航運學院之間的國際化合作與交流。

With just 4 teaching staff in 2011, SNIMI has built up a human capital pool of more than 50 domestic and international teaching staff to date.  Our teaching staff has conducted more than 900 training courses for the institute catering to more than 15,000 participants in the past 10 years.  

The maritime industry is a global industry and internationalization of maritime training is one key plank of SNIMI’s success. Leveraging on the standing and sound international reputation of the Singapore Organisation of Seamen and Singhai Marine Services Singapore, SNIMI has consistently strived, and succeeded, to promote the internationalization of Jiangsu Shipping College through collaboration with many overseas training centres, schools and institutes such as the Malaysian Maritime Academy, Singapore Institute of Technology Education, Myanmar Mercantile Maritime College, Myanmar Excellence Maritime Training Center and Sri Lanka Seaman Training Center.  

我們采用國際先進的管理方法，通過富有實踐意義，和創新成果的教學法開展培訓，江蘇航運學院申報的以中新國際為藍本的跨境校企共同體項目獲得國家級教學成果一等獎，這樣的合作模式受到廣泛的認可、宣傳和贊譽。2014年10月29日，成立僅3年后，中新國際通過江蘇海事局課程認證，成為首家基于國際海事組織示范課程開展駕駛臺資源管理（國際海事組織示范課程1.39）和電子海圖顯示信息系統（國際海事組織示范課程1.27）兩項課程的培訓中心。隨后，中新國際通過認證成為中國海事局認可的培訓機構。多年來中新國際的努力和成績有目共睹，我們也將繼續努力提供全方位的優質海事教育和培訓，進一步增強中國海員在國際航運市場的核心競爭力。

We manage the institute based on established international management approach, best practices and an innovative training pedagogy. Our institute-overseas enterprises collaborating model achieved the national-level China Education Achievement First Class Award, garnering recognition, accolades and publicity for Jiangsu Shipping College and SNIMI.  Just 3 years after our inception on 29 Oct 2014, SNIMI became the first maritime training service provider to obtain the Jiangsu Maritime Safety Administration's course certification for Bridge Resource Management (IMO Model Course 1.39) and Electronic Chart Display Information System (IMO Model Course 1.27) based on IMO model course framework. Our effort and achievement has gained recognition by both players and regulators of the shipping industry.  SNIMI is the China Maritime Safety Administration (MSA)’s recognized training institute in China and we are determined to provide full spectrum of quality maritime education and training with the main trust of enhancing and further strengthening seafarers’ core competitiveness in the international shipping industry.  

十年來，中新國際始終堅持以客戶為導向，提供高效創新型課程，同時我們緊密結合工作實際，提供高質量的海事增值培訓。我們的課程參考國際海事組織示范課程，強調實踐，結合國際公約的要求對海員進行針對性的培訓。我們的特色課程包含面向實習生、駕駛員和輪機員的海事增強培訓、面向郵輪乘務的酒店管理培訓以及面向普通船員的海佳優質普通船員及廚師培訓。其中實習生海事增強培訓通過實踐，體驗，互動，講授，分享等方式讓學生充分了解船上的生活、工作和學習情況，一方面讓更多的學生能被國際船東錄取，另一方面也大大縮短了學生上船后的適應時間，此培訓項目受到了船東的廣大歡迎，也有越來越多的船東派自己的實習生到中新國際參加實習生海事增強培訓。

SNIMI’s training philosophy since its incorporation 10 years ago remains unchanged. First and foremost, we are guided by customer needs foreseeing and providing innovative and courses effectively and efficiently.  We also align closely with industry work practices and provide high-quality value-added maritime training courses. Drawing on the design of the International Maritime Organization Model Course, our curriculum emphasizes practical and practical teaching characteristics and are designed to meet the requirements of the seafarers training needs and relevant international conventions. Our ironic courses that differentiate us from other institutions include our Maritime Enhancement Training Programme (METP) for cadets, deck officers and marine engineers, Hospitality training for hotel personnel for cruise liners as well as our SEACARE Quality Ratings and Cooks Training (SQRT/SQCT) Programme. Specifically, our Maritime Enhancement Training Programme (METP) is designed to prepare both deck and engine cadets prior to them joining ships. The METP for cadets comprehensively covers essential components that cadets should be competent with in order to increase their chance of being successfully selected by international shipping companies as well as shorten the period they take to adjust to their new working environment on board ship. The value of our METP for cadets had been recognized and warmly welcomed by the shipping community. More and more shipping companies are approaching SNIMI to conduct the METP for their cadets. 

盡管我們在過去十年中遇到很多困難，但我們經歷過風雨的洗禮，已經變得更加強大。新冠疫情在全球肆虐，在世界范圍內引起了動蕩，也嚴重擾亂了我們的發展規劃。然而是各股東方的大力支持，為中新國際指明了方向，還有員工的奉獻，讓中新國際有底氣迎難而上，不懼挑戰，我們相信只要不放棄，就一定能看到勝利的曙光。

回顧過去，放眼未來，中新國際會繼續為客戶提供量身定制的優質培訓，同時也會牢牢把握市場脈搏，走在海事培訓的前沿，做海事培訓的創新者和排頭兵，在推動中新國際發展進步的同時，為航運業數字化和低碳發展貢獻自己的力量。

Despite the many challenges we faced in the last 10 years, SNIMI has managed to successfully navigate the many storms we experienced in the past 10 years and emerged stronger and ready for the future. The most recent and still ongoing storm is the global turbulence brought about by the Covid 19 pandemic that has severely disrupted our training programme.  During such crises, the vital ingredient for our success in the past 10 years is undoubtedly the belief of our shareholders that SNIMI had done well and will continue to have a bright future in the maritime training industry despite current challenges and difficulties. Our shareholders and Board of Directors had not only given their support totally but also steered us purposefully with their clear vision. Finally, and equally importantly, the hard work and commitment of our dedicated staff had contributed to the success we enjoy today.

As we recollect our achievements in the past 10 years, we should turn our attention to the next 10 years as well.  Looking ahead, SNIMI is committed to channeling our energies to propel the continuous growth of SNIMI by continuing to design and provide relevant training programme to meet the training needs of our partners in a timely fashion as well as foresee emerging trends in the shipping industry and the attendant training needs arising from such emerging trends. In the immediate future, we see the shipping industry trending towards digitalization and decarbonization and will design training needs to assist the shipping industry towards higher level of digitalization and decarbonization.     

2021年11月11日，在這個陽光燦爛的日子，讓我們共同祝中新國際十周年快樂，感謝多年來支持信任我們的客戶，感謝多年來為中新國際默默奉獻的員工，感謝每一位中新國際的有緣人，感謝您陪伴中新國際的十年，讓我們攜手走向中新國際的下一個十年。

On this bright and blissful day of 11 Nov 2021, we take this opportunity to wish SNIMI a Happy 10^th Anniversary.  We extend our sincere appreciation to the shipping companies for their kind supports all these years and congratulate all who had walked the journey and labored with us in the last 10 years. Your support and contribution have been instrumental for our present pride of place in the maritime training industry and the overall success of SNIMI.  With your continued support and dedication, SNIMI will continue our journey of success in the next 10 years.
