IMETA has been serving the marine industry since 2005, with an extensive international clientele across various segments of the global shipping trade. Our strength lies in delivering industry-focused training programmes designed to enhance operational efficiency, safety, and regulatory compliance within ports and terminals.
Our technical expertise is led by a team of International Consultants, each possessing extensive hands-on experience in the maritime industry, largely at senior and top management levels. This depth of experience ensures that our training and consulting services are practical, relevant, and aligned with real operational demands.
IMETA’s core consulting services focus on human competence and performance management. With years of experience in maritime training, our focus naturally evolved towards the human element—widely recognised as the weakest link in maritime safety. Numerous studies indicate that human actions or inactions contribute to nearly 80% of maritime accidents.
To address this critical concern, we have developed specialised programmes and proprietary tools for human competence and performance measurement, including comprehensive training needs analysis. These solutions assist ship owners and operators in identifying competency gaps and implementing targeted training strategies.
In addition to training, we provide a wide range of specialised consulting services including risk management, competency profiling, competency-risk assessment, accident and incident investigations, shipboard audits and inspections, cargo operations support, and port captaincy services. Our consultants focus on delivering cost-effective and expeditious results, operating under the strictest safety standards while ensuring timely, professional, and up-to-date service.
