The METAVASEA programme, implemented by HELMEPA and aimed at supporting shipping’s transition towards decarbonisation and sustainability in the Eastern Mediterranean, is entering the third phase.
The new phase focuses on preparedness for the green transition, infrastructure, alternative fuels, as well as skills development and workforce readiness. More than 2,100 executives and professionals from across the maritime industry have participated.
Preliminary findings show that 70% of seafarers view fatigue as a major safety concern, while soft skills such as leadership, teamwork and critical thinking are emerging as a strategic priority for the sector.
METAVASEA is a five-year project aiming to train and upskill 1,500 seafarers, shipping professionals, and port workers in new fuels, digital awareness, sustainability and soft skills. It also seeks to boost the involvement of shipping companies and ports in maritime decarbonisation initiatives, offer insights into shipping and community readiness for new fuels, identify region-specific opportunities, gaps, and challenges and raise climate awareness among 10,000 schoolchildren, 750 teachers and 2 million residents of the East Mediterranean, a climate change hot spot.
METAVASEA is coordinated by HELMEPA, in cooperation with 6 partners and 12 associate partners, and supported by Lloyd’s Register Foundation.
