International nature of maritime industry • • International Nature of Maritime Sector – Need for a sector specific network of global Maritime Technology Cooperation Centres (MTCCs) Focus on regions with large number of LDCs and SIDS (Africa, Asia, Caribbean, Latin America and Pacific) 3

GMN: An initiative funded by the EU • Total Funding Euro 10, 000 • January 2017 to December 2019 • 5 MTCCs to be formed • During the project, the MTCCs to become fully operational. • Beyond the project, the MTCCs will become financially selfsustained 4

GMN Project objectives Overall Objective: Build capacity – Improve energy efficiency – Reduce GHG emissions – Contribute to fight against climate change Specific Objectives: • Establish 5 MTCCs with regional dimension; • Improve the capacities in maritime administrations and port authorities in the developing regions; • Promote the uptake of low carbon technologies and operations through implementation of pilot projects; and • Pilot trial of voluntary “Data Collection and Reporting (DCR)” systems. • MTCCs transforming themselves into regional centres of excellence 5

University of Trinidad & Tobago Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture & Technology, Kenya International Maritime University of Panama, Panama Shanghai Maritime university, China Pacific Community, Fiji All MTCCs have been established and they are becoming operational 8

Specific activities of MTCCs • Capacity building – 4 national workshops – 2 regional workshops – Some of the workshops to be organized outside of the MTCC host country • Pilot projects – Two pilot projects to be defined – The projects to be implemented 9

GMN project components • Component 1 – Establishment/formation and capacitating of 5 MTCCs • Component 2 - Capacity building in maritime administrations, port authorities, relevant government departments and shipping sector • Component 3 - Implementation of pilot projects on “uptake of ship energy efficient technologies and operations” • Component 4 - Implementation of pilot projects on “data collection and reporting, DCR”. • Component 5 – Communications and dissemination • Component 6 - Project management and monitoring 10

Project management structure • • Membership: EC, IMO, Maritime administration, private sector, maritime education and training, etc. Role: Provide wider visibility, share ideas with GMN and its PCU on all aspects
