eLearning Center for Short Sea Shipping

Elsfleth/Hamburg, May 6th 2005

Within the EU-funded project REMARCCII the Maritime Competence Center MARIKO.RIS at the University of Applied Science Oldenburg/Ostfriesland/Wilhelmshaven has been commissioned to build up an eLearning Center for Short Sea Shipping together with European partner academies in maritime business.

The aim of the project which is funded within the INTERREG IIIB programme of the European Commission is the promotion of short sea shipping and inland waterway as main components of intermodal transport, and its contribution towards the future development of the North Sea Region. The realisation of the aims of the REMARCC project will be achieved within the following 7 working packages:

Project Management, North Sea Logistics Cluster (NSLC), Organizational Knowledge Management Processes in Intermodal Transport and Logistics (KM), Coaching und Training in Transport and Logistics (CT), Establishment of a North Sea Quality Circle, Intermodal Supply Chain Optimisation and Promotion Strategies for Short Sea Shipping and Inland Navigation in Intermodal Transport and Logistics.

The eLearning Center represents a modern and efficient way of learning. It also allows an excellent combination of theories and practice in teaching and training.

LOGO-TEAM, Management Consultants for Logistics and Organisation, has widespread experience for many years in numerous consulting projects in transport and logistics. The knowledge from selected projects will be transformed into learning and training case studies and integrated in the eLearning Center.

A comprehensive test period is scheduled for mid-September 2005. It is planned to provide a European-wide working eLearning platform by November 2005.
