Prior to its official opening at Tuen Mun, a temporary training centre was established under Vocational Training Council known as Seamen’s Training Centre (海員訓練中心) at Siu Sai Wan. The venue was previously belong to colony's Royal Air Force. In the early 1980s, as the shipping industry became adversely affected by the global economic downturn, the various institutes started to withdraw as trainers. The government, as a flag administration, required to meet its obligations under the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978 of the International Maritime Organization (IMO). It resulted to the establishment of the Seamen’s Training Centre in Siu Sai Wan in 1984, under the management of the Vocational Training Council.


In 1988, the centre was moved to Tuen Mun because the original site was too remote and lacked training facilities. The Seamen’s Training Centre had been mainly focusing on the comprehensive training of seamen. In the late 1990s, the centre’s role was extended to include safety training for workers in the shipping industry. In 2003, Seamen’s Training Centre campus was upgraded to Maritime Services Training Institute[2]. It provides courses for secondary school leavers, local and foreign in-service seafarers, and employees of marinerelated and shore-based industries to satisfy the manpower demands and training needs of marine and related fields.
