NEED  AND  ADDED  VALUE  FOR  THE  DANUBE  REGION  STRATEGY

In the beginning of the project, there was still a lack of transparency and knowledge on how to integrate green Danube navigation into sustainable transport solutions. Increased institutional and organisational capacity helped equip public service providers with a critical mass of information and support to understand (=mind shift) and use (=modal shift) Danube transport.

Besides, there was a shortage of qualified personnel on-board inland vessels and fragmented legal framework governing skills and qualifications in the Danube inland transport sector and hindering recognition of qualifications and mobility of work force.

 

OBJECTIVE(S)  OF  THE  PROJECT

Danube SKILLS aimed to increase institutional capacity of the Danube region by boosting joint transnational capacities of education and public services for inland waterways:

  • contribute to better qualifications of IWT work force and increased job security;
  • enable the free movement of workers and reduce loss of life and damages by avoidance of accidents;
  • prepare adoption of EU regulations in the Danube region by the joint development and implementation of new transnational learning tools;
  • strengthen institutional capacity and transnational cooperation in order to encourage the use of environmentally friendly inland navigation in the Danube region (Danube logistics promotion);
  • bring more transparency into the Danube transport sector by offering free and open information tools.

 

CONDUCTED  PROJECT  ACTIVITIES

  1. Made public institutions in charge with nautical training and certification fit to implement common European standards;
  2. Made public institutions responsible for Danube navigation development fit to provide services to actively trigger a raise of modal share of green Danube transport and to act as 1-stop-shops for Danube logistics;
  3. Set-up of institutional (= sector-wide) Capacity Building cooperation for improving legal and policy frameworks on nautical qualifications and Danube transport promotion.
