Besides, the numbers of HSC passed students, having potential of becoming seafaring officers, are also on the rise in Bangladesh every year. By producing more seafaring officers out of these youngsters and marketing them effectively for manning the commercial fleet around the globe, Bangladesh could have reaped benefits of earning huge remittance and thus ensured her socio-economic development.

The study also examined present manning situation and supply capability of seafaring officers in Bangladesh. Finally, the paper recommends courses of action for Bangladeshi seafaring stakeholders to tap the potential from the global demand for seafaring officers.
