IMLA 23rd Conference Opens in Durban of South Africa
On 30th June, 2015, the IMLA 23rd Annual Conference was opened in the beautiful
coastal city of Durban under the host ship of Durban University of Technology (DUT),
South Africa. This was a significant occasion in the history of IMLA as not only was it
the first time for the IMLA Conference to touch down in the land of South Africa, but
also, as participants, we were deeply impressed by the excellent organization and
arrangements, whole being immersed in the warmest winter of Durban city. Here we
experienced the mix of Indian, Zulu and post-colonial cultures, and enjoyed the
sincere hospitality of South Africans, who also fully demonstrated their academic
and cultural capacities to the many MET practitioners present in this MET year!
Many details carefully considered by the DUT such as professional presentations,
panel discussions, the mayoral reception, their sponsors’ generosity and the game
drive in Tala reserve have significantly made this gathering so impressive,
unforgettable and enjoyable.
The four-day Conference attracted 76 registered participants being maritime
lecturers, administrative officers and shipping operators from various parts of the
world. Thirty-four academic papers were presented and 7 corresponding panel
discussions held that included the topics of E-Learning and Education Technology,
Human Element, Specialized Training, Maritime Education and Training, Maritime
English, Employability and Regional Experience. Three special workshops with the
themes of Maritime English, Building maritime research capacity and post-graduate
qualifications, and Developing graduates that are culturally and socially aware within
the global context, respectively, were also held in parallel with the papers’
presentations and panel discussions.
IMLA’s Honorary Chair, Prof. Jin Yongxing, the Chairman of the Shanghai Maritime
University Council, China (SMU), attended the Conference and on behalf of IMLA
delivered the opening speech and awarded IMLA’s tailor-made Shield to each
Lifetime Member present at the Conference (6 in total), praising each member their
unique contributions in building IMLA’s capacity. The Executive Dean of the DUT
3
Faculty of Applied Science, Prof. Suren Singh, also addressed the audience in his
welcome speech on behalf of the host institution. The Representative from South
Africa Maritime Safety Authority made a keynote address concerning the overall
maritime situation and strategic plan in South Africa. IMLA’s Honorary Secretary,
Assoc. Prof. Clive Cole from IMO’s World Maritime University, read the message of
goodwill and appreciation sent by Mr. Andrew Winbow, the IMO Assistant
Secretary-General and Director of Maritime Safety Division, in congratulating the
opening of the IMLA 23rd Conference and highlighting IMLA’s contribution to the
world of Maritime Education and Training. A Reception dinner was held in the
municipality hall of Durban on the Tuesday evening. Prof. Jin on behalf of IMLA was
invited to give the speech of appreciation and handed over a gift to City Counselor in
extending IMLA’s gratitude to the Durban city elders for their support to this
Conference. On the dusk of Friday, Prof. Cole on behalf of IMLA announced the
closure of IMLA 23 after he once again extended the appreciation for the DUT
hosting the fantastic Conference.

IMO’s Assistant Secretary-General, Director of Maritime Safety Division Mr. Andy
Winbow visited IMLA Shanghai Office during his stay in China for attending the
events of celebrating the Seafarers Day in response to the invitation of China
government in June.
Chair Prof. Jin Yongxing introduced the development of IMLA and its many acts of
taking part in IMO related affairs with the status of IMO consultative NGO. In
particular, the fact that the Model Course of Maritime English revised and submitted
by IMLA was validated by HTW 2 Session is very encouraging.
Mr. Winbow highly remarked the IMLA’s various contributions for IMO in the last
three years. He hoped that IMLA could focus more upon the HTW meetings as he
considered that the majority of HTW agendas could be within the IMLA’s capacity.
Mr. Winbow gladly expressed his warm congratulations to the opening of upcoming
IMLA23 in a written letter to celebrate the event to be held in Durban, South Africa.

People: In Memory of Prof. Günther Zade Günther Zade (1936–2006) was an internationally renowned scholar and educator in
maritime education & training (MET), serving the World Maritime University with great distinction for almost a quarter of a century. Günther Zade grew up in East Germany, studied mathematics at Leipzig University, and embarked on a seafaring career in 1957, rising from ordinary seaman to master mariner with a Master Mariner Certificate obtained from Bremen Nautical School, then completed further postgraduate studies in Nautical Studies and Education and rose through the ranks from Lecturer to Professor, Vice-Rector and finally to Rector in Bremen
Hochschulefür Nautik from 1968 until 1983. From 1983 to his death in May 2006, Professor Zade played a pivotal role in the development and progress of the design and establishment of the World Maritime University (WMU), located in Malmö, Sweden, after being asked for assistance from the then Secretary General of the International Maritime Organization (IMO), Dr. C P Srivastava, in 1982. For almost twenty years, he has been dedicating to make the University more successful in the design and development of the academic teaching and research program. He was truly one of the Founding Fathers of the World Maritime University and the profound contribution to this institution will never be matched. Günther Zade’s reach went far beyond WMU; he left his indelible mark on maritime education worldwide. As founding member and first chairman of the International Maritime Lecturers’ Association (IMLA), he was a driving force for the establishment and raising of global standards of maritime education & training of seafarers and also a prolific researcher and author of many studies on subjects of maritime education and training. His outstanding contribution to IMLA, WMU and to maritime education worldwide has been recognized and honored in many ways: the Government of Germany awarded him one of the highest German honors, the Bundesverdienstkreuz 1.Klasse; the Government of France created him Chevalier de l’Ordre du Mérite Maritime; Shanghai Municipality bestowed on him the Magnolia Silver Award; and Lloyd’s List presented him with the Award for Lifetime Achievement in Maritime Training. The World Maritime University awarded him the distinction of Professor Emeritus and established an ongoing student scholarship in his name. To honor the memory of Professor Zade, the World Maritime University has sponsored an annual public event – the Günther Zade Lecture – in connection with the annual meeting of the University’s international Board of Governors. Distinguished experts from the international maritime education milieu could speak
18
on issues of maritime education & training (MET) to which Günther devoted his professional life. Günther Zade was a remarkable man who was worth being remembered forever for his great intellect, his life-long service and devotion to IMLA, WMU and the international maritime community, and his courageous battle with a terrible disease. He set a shining example to all of us. He made a real difference to the maritime world, and inspired many of us personally.
