British Maritime Technology Ltd The general results of the MTCP project are:- the development of a flexible coordination platform, which offers support to Directorate General for Energy and the Directorate General for Mobility and Transport, and decision makers (e.g. in policy), who need quick access to actual, relevant and reliable information to base their decisions upon;- 18 short policy relevant studies;- the creation of 'expert groups', which have highlighted emerging issues within their areas of specialisation;- the development of the MTSO (Maritime Transport Sector Observatory), accessible by both the public and the Commission, which is focussed on the provision of knowledge and experts on maritime transports, and information about the MTCP studies.For what concern the short policy relevant studies one of the main results is the following:While today many national maritime education and training systems offer opportunities for students to qualify also for a career in the maritime sector ashore, following their sea experience, there is a need for furthering this trend and organising it at European level.The overall goals of the study were to pave the way to:- bring in more people to the seafaring profession and keep them in the maritime cluster by offering them the possibility for post sea careers in the shipping industry ashore or other maritime related activities;- improve the employability and professional mobility of maritime education and training graduates;- promote the quality of maritime education and training and consider upgrading study programmes and widen specialisation of former deck and engineer officers.
