Abstract
Knowledge and competence are vital resources for the European maritime transport sector that needs further development for meeting challenges from global competition and the necessity of creating local and global sustainable transport. This paper describes selected results of the EU funded KNOWME project which was concerned with the creation of a maritime industry knowledge network for raising the knowledge level of the sector’s human resources and improving its image and marketability among key decision-makers, the labour market, and the public. The KNOWME project focused on the importance of the human factor within the shipping industry, which is covered by the European Commission’s ‘Maritime Transport Strategy 2009-2018’.
