MAIN OBJECTIVES
• Promote quality of education and training in the maritime
transport sector to address three specific challenges:
maritime safety, reducing environmental impact and increasing
competitiveness of the sector
• Launch the bases for European mobility for students,
trainees,
instructors/trainers/teachers,
involving
educational and training institutions, in line with the
“Maritime Erasmus” concept;

WP1 - Training For Maritime Safety Master
Programme in Sustainable Shipping
Set-up and implement a
test version of a
Master Programme
in Sustainable Shipping
at postgraduate level
From January to June 2015

LESSONS LEARNED
• Enhancing knowledge on management of human resource and
greening transport is a priority for METs and the private sector
• Participation in mobility schemes is a very fruitful experience for
students and seafarers
• Administrative issues (setting-up of new modules and syllabi,
harmonisation of programmes and semesters, etc…) represent one
of the main challenge to be faced
• Students look for English courses. This is a concrete weakness of
the current European maritime transport education and training
system

WP2 – Training and Maritime Simulators
Extend the use of simulators within the
curricula of seafarers and their management
•
•
•
•
Enhancing exchange of trainers
Standardise Syllabus within
Europe
Developing new skills to use a
simulator
Enhancing investments in
favour of simulation

LESSONS LEARNED
• Much effort needs to be done at European level to improve education and
training on simulators:
• more infrastructures (students should spend more hours in
simulators)
• innovative solutions (e.g. hardware and software)
• “transnational cooperation” exercises
• Combined scenario (bridge – machine) is a very fruitful exercise to
improve performances on Management of Maritime Human Resources
