Rise, Fall, and Recovery of Blockchains in the Maritime Technology Space

Blockchain technology, since its introduction, has been expected to be implemented in many areas. Cryptocurrency is one unique example that established a functioning application. On the other hand, blockchain technology is not immune to various challenges related to the nature of itself, privacy management, and antitrust laws, among others. This study lays out the nature of blockchain and applications in the maritime industry, while highlighting the bottlenecks. Potential resolutions and anticipated developments are proposed. To do this, we adopt a systematic approach and present an overview of blockchain in maritime literature. In addition, the fundamental problems with blockchain are investigated, beginning from their essentials to the pain points that are claimed to need improvement. For establishing a legitimate and practically meaningful blockchain platform, stakeholders need to achieve pluralism (consensus validation), privacy, and security of the system.

The historiography of navigation and maritime technology in India during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries

This article assesses the historiography of navigation and shipbuilding technology in India. Though the paucity of Indian primary sources has deterred historians from compiling large-scale works on these themes, they have been elucidated in a number of valuable publications. Moreover, the voluminous data recorded by the British in particular, and Europeans in general, during seventeenth and eighteenth centuries provides further relevant information on these themes.

DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY OF EDUCATION CURRICULUM IN STTAL

In the era of the industrial revolution 4.0, the preparation of mastery of maritime technology and the preparation of human resources is the urgency of the Navy's education. STTAL as one of the Navy's educational institutions has a strategic role as a producer of the Navy's human resources capable of merging themselves in technological development. Demands for the development of science and technology that are so fast affect the development of modernization of technology in the rank of maritime technology and graduate qualifications, it is necessary to make adjustments by conducting an evaluation and development in the education curriculum. A concrete step in addressing this requires a strategy to develop STTAL education curriculum in response to scientific vision, efforts to achieve graduate qualifications expected in accordance with societal needs and stakeholder needs. With SWOT analysis, a matrix will be obtained which shows the strengths and weaknesses as well as opportunities and threats which will later be used as a reference to make the right and appropriate strategies.Keywords: SWOT Analysis, STTAL Education Curriculum, Industrial Revolution 4.0

STTAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY TO PRODUCE HUMAN RESOURCES THAT ACKNOWLEDGE TECHNOLOGY FACING THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION ERA 4.0

The industrial revolution 4.0 requires that one must be able to work with increasingly sophisticated technological developments. The industrial revolution 4.0 emphasizes digital economic patterns, artificial intelligence, big data, robotic or known as the disruptive innovation phenomenon. The problem discussed in this study is how to determine the strategy for developing STTAL. The purpose of this study was to determine the best strategy for developing STTAL using the SWOT analysis method. The results of the study show that the development of STTAL to produce Human Resources that mastered the technology faced the era of industrial revolution 4.0. Namely: a). Increase the quantity and quality of laboratory facilities that are complete in stages according to the priority scale adjusting the available budget by means of regulation, cooperation, coordination and socialization to relevant stakeholders, b). Publication of lecturer and student research in national and international journals is one way to improve the ability and expertise to produce technological products of marine and maritime technology, c). Establish a curriculum for each Study Program based on IQF and lead to the science and technology fields of maritime and maritime technology, d). Establishing the ideal STTAL Organization will be able to support the operational education and development of new Cyber Study Programs.
