The Northern Maritime University (NMU) is represented in the trade report “Strengthening the potential of the maritime transport” published by the PRESS4TRANSPORT consortium.
NMU project partner Lisa Loloma Froholdt visualised the NMU solutions on how to provide business managers in the North Sea Region with knowledge from trans-national universities in order to cope with future challenges. She claims that the NMU project has the potential to be applied Europe-wide and to be developed further for a sustainable European Maritime Transport sector.
The report is a publication by the PRESS4TRANSPORT consortium on behalf of the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport. The so called “thematic fiche” focuses on European maritime transport solutions. It highlights the importance of fostering the following key factors: intermodality, trans-national and international collaboration, and sustainable management of the seas from a Northern European perspective. Responsible scientific partner is the Maritime Development Center of Europe, a partner organisation of NMU.
