Under the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) framework of the Global Maritime Energy Efficiency Partnerships (GloMEEP) Project, a five-day intensive Train-the-Trainer workshop on energy efficiency has been delivered to China.
Run between 23-27 May, the Train-the-Trainer workshop on energy efficiency aimed to support increased uptake and implementation of energy-efficiency measures for shipping and related efforts for mitigation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from international shipping. The Train-the-Trainer program enables those in the maritime industry to contribute to future maritime careers of others and to share their information and knowledge to make informed choices and right decisions.
China is one of the ten Lead Pilot Countries implementing the GloMEEP Project, which aims to build understanding and knowledge of technical and operational energy-efficiency measures to lead maritime transport into a low-carbon future.
The workshop was co-hosted by the China Maritime Safety Administration (China MSA) and Dalian Maritime University (DMU). The 30 participants on the course, including two from each GloMEEP Lead Pilot Country and ten further national participants from China, underwent training in the art and techniques of knowledge transfer in a class room environment, particularly aimed at adult learners, alongside comprehensive technical training on energy efficient ship operation and the regulatory requirements.
The workshop was facilitated by international and national experts on ships’ energy efficiency and was coordinated by the Project Coordination Unit of GloMEEP, led by Ms Astrid Dispert, Technical Adviser to the GloMEEP Project.
