The Maritime Educational Foundation (MEF) is a charity funded by the Maritime Training Trust (who manage the Payment in Lieu of Training (PILOT) payments from UK registered shipping companies who do not reach their core training commitment of 1 officer cadet per 15 officers employed.
The MEF is dedicated to advancing education and training in maritime skills. We sponsor a number of officer trainees each year and use a number of training providers to help us achieve the highest quality training available. We also add on extra training through the Outward Bound Trust and require our training providers to get our trainees 3 months more sea time than the statutory minimum so as to make them more "watch ready' when they qualify.
The trustees are made up of representatives of the UK Chamber of Shipping, Nautilus International and the RMT. The MEF is currently managed by myself, Kate Gillespie of KG Maritime, under the governance of the MEF Director and MEF board of Trustees.The trustees are made up of representatives of the UK Chamber of Shipping, Nautilus International and the RMT.
If anyone, existing or prospective officer trainees, would like to know more about the MEF, just give me a shout!
