In this report, we suggest competence updates to current occupational profiles. We have aligned the STCW positions and Certificates of Competence with ESCO occupations for the seagoing positions. We find that ESCO is missing some occupations. We also find that none of the positions connected with Competence of Proficiency (CoP) for special ship types or regions, such as the CoP for “Masters, officers and ratings, basic oil and chemical tankers”, are not covered in ESCO. Key aims and objectives of the report include:
• Analysing the effect of technological developments on the industry’s skills requirements.
• An even better match between the industry’s skills needs and the education and training of maritime professionals.
• Overcoming barriers to the mobility of maritime professionals.
• Improving cooperation and synergy between education providers, maritime authorities and the industry.
• Ensuring that Europe retains world-leading access to maritime skills and experience for improved competitiveness.
