emsa report cover

The maritime industry is undergoing a technology transition towards decarbonised shipping. To achieve the ambitious goals of reducing emissions from ships, several potential alternative fuels and energy systems have been identified for shipping. One of the main challenges that the technology transition entails is the additional training that seafarers on board ships using alternative fuels and systems need to undergo to ensure the safe and efficient operation and maintenance of these ships. The existing training and competence standards in the STCW Code do not specifically cover all aspects of the new fuels/fuel systems being adopted.

This report presents the result of a two-parts study which aimed to:

blue bulletPart A: Identify and describe specific competences and training areas in terms of knowledge, understanding and proficiency for seafarers to ensure safe operations of ships using alternative fuels and energy systems.
blue bulletPart B: Identify and justify methods for demonstrating competence and descriptions of training programmes and syllabus for seafarers and instructors.
