Welcome to the EFFORTS project website!
The European FP-6 DG Research Integrated Project "Effective Operations in Ports (EFFORTS)" aims to improve the competitiveness of European port operations and the quality of the ports labour conditions and market, being a prominent one in coastal regions. Commencing 1st May 2006 and lasting for 42 months EFFORTS, research and development will focus on three scopes of application:
Navigation in Ports
3 work packages dealing with safe and efficient approach and berthing of vessels
usually increasing size faster than port infrastructure can follow
4 work packages covering the most relevant environmental areas related to port operation
2 work packages providing an architecture and process description all operations can be allocated to, software tools for operational support and risk assessment and management
This work package deals with the development of vocational training for port related jobs. The goal is to increase the inter-change of staff by improving the level of business knowledge and to ultimately develop a “Skills and Competency Ports Passport”
