EuropeanE-EIS Starting point for the research project is the Economic Impact Study (EIS), which is based on Input-Output Analysis. This instrument allows for the quantification of both direct and indirect effects of a sector, in terms of value added, employment a ...
EuropeanMASIS II The crucial role played by the human element in maritime safety has been formally recognised in new international requirements concerning the management of safety on board ships and in shore offices and the training and qualification of seafarers ...
EuropeanSEAGULL Long periods onboard vessels can be put to good use for the upgrading or refreshment of knowledge and skills, either within the person's present profession or as a preparation for future occupations. In particular, long distance learning/moni ...
EuropeanASDSS For the last decade and a half, the container shipping industry has been characterised by poor financial returns. Conventional wisdom holds that capacity expansion and poor utilisation have been to blame. However, there is also evidence that most co ...
EuropeanBERTRANC Despite the major role of waterborne transport in Europe and its achieved efficiency, the safety record of maritime operations over the past 15 years has not been acceptable. A number of incidents and accidents have brought into question the indu ...
EuropeanCASMET The existing common accident and incident analysis schemes in maritime operations do not pay adequate attention to human and organisational errors, and differ significantly between EU countries. Moreover, the gathering of facts by authorities is co ...
EuropeanFSEA The promotion of a safety culture based on a pro-active approach- as opposed to a reactive one- is considered essential to improve safety in maritime transport. The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) has followed that approach with the adoptio ...
