Baseline Report on Present Skills Gaps in Shipbuilding and Offshore Renewables Value Chains Baseline report on present skills gaps in shipbuilding and offshore renewables value chains October 2020 MATES - Baseline Report on present skills needs in shipbuilding and offshore renewables value chains About this Report This document was developed within the framework of the ‘MATES – Maritime Alliance for Fostering the European Blue Economy through a Marine Technology Skilling Strategy’ research project. The main objective of the project is to develop a Skilling Strategy that will contribute towards successfully addressing the main drivers of change in the maritime industry, with particular reference to shipbuilding and offshore renewable energy. These sectors are strongly linked and both require new capacities if they are to perform well and continue to grow in today’s increasingly digital, green and knowledge-driven economy. Project duration: Jan 2018 – Dec 2021 www.projectmates.eu Document information Addressing both the shipbuilding and the offshore renewable energy sectors, the present document i.e. Deliverable 2.1 “Baseline Report on present skills needs in shipbuilding and offshore renewables value chains” has a twofold objective: (a) to assess the qualifications currently offered (i.e. 2018-2019) to prospective graduates by relevant educational and training programs throughout Europe, and (b) to identify Short description current shortages and gaps, in terms of skills and competences, that the existing workforce currently present, taking into consideration the requirements of each industry. To this end, a better and deeper understanding of present skills needs can be established and a solid knowledge basis can be set up, upon which future project activities will build. Work Package WP2.

  • Making Waves the Effects of Boat-Wash on Macrobenthic
    MAKING WAVES THE EFFECTS OF BOAT-WASH ON MACROBENTHIC ASSEMBLAGES OF ESTUARIES Melanie J. Bishop A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Sydney April 2003 The work contained within this thesis, except where otherwise acknowledged, is the result of my own investigations Signed: Date: ABSTRACT Numerous studies have examined ecological impacts of boating resulting from scarring by propellers, the discharge of pollutants and sewage, noise, anchoring and the infrastructure associated with boating (e.g. marinas and wharves). Only recently have studies considered the impact of wash. This is the loose water produced by a vessel as it travels through the water. Most studies have focussed on wash produced by fast-ferry services. It is, however, known that wind-generated waves, which are typically smaller and of lesser energy than many boat- generated waves, are important in determining the distribution and abundance of organisms. Thus, wash from smaller vessels may also have an impact on estuarine organisms. This thesis considered: (i) any impact of wash from RiverCat ferries - 35 m, low-wash vessels that operate on the Parramatta River, Sydney, Australia – on intertidal assemblages and (ii) the effect of wash on epifauna associated with seagrass blades. The collapse of seawalls and the erosion of river-banks was observed following the introduction of RiverCat ferries to the Parramatta River, Sydney, Australia. Several strategies of management – establishing no-wash zones, where ferries must slow to minimize wash and planting mangroves, which may dissipate wave-energy – have consequently been implemented. These were used in mensurative experiments, examining the effects of wash on infauna.
