Summary: | This article presents the results of the authors' work on a project of the European program Erasmus+ "Diversification of seafarers' employability paths through collaborative development of competences and certification" - DivSea. In this project, the Nikola Vaptsarov Naval Academy is actively involved in partnerships with related maritime education institutions from Romania, Cyprus and the Netherlands. The aim of the project is introducing qualifications required by the marine labour market into the European education and training institutes to ensure transparency and recognition of skills and qualifications to facilitate learning, employability and labour mobility. Transferring the aim to the shipping, we propose to use modern ship communication equipment and computer technology to enable seafarers to access up-to-date training and qualifications at any point in the World. The created and developed training programs by the participants in the project fill the gap created by the rapid development of shipping over the last twenty years and the changes in maritime legislation in this regard. The opportunities for ship Internet delivery at every point of the world ocean are used. These communication technologies enable the training of marine professionals to become an ongoing process. |
