1 Introduction of the Project

Norwegian Centre of Expertise Maritime

NCE Maritime , Aalesund, is one of the Norwegian Centres of Expertise, having a

national responsibility for developing the maritime cluster in Norway. Established

in the last half of 2006, the NCE is still being developed, also with respect to basic

knowledge about the maritime world outside of Norway. The NCE is to a large

extent focused on managing, initiating and facilitating R&D co-projects, where the

parties might be a number of companies or companies and R&D-institution(s),

local, national or international. Recruitment is an other important field for the

Centre. The Norwegian maritime industry today is actively sourcing labor from

abroad, while academic competence primarily is sourced locally/nationally. It is

expected that the industry will have to source a greater part of its academic

abroad. A number of other uses for the intelligence sought are also foreseen,

without being specified.

The goal of this assignment is to identify teaching institutions (Master and PhD -

level) and individual R&D-institutions in Lithuania.

2 Methodology

The following methodology was used during the assignment:

Deskwork based on collection of primary information on Internet

telephone screening, interview with authorities related to Maritime

Industry. Introduction of NCE was made by sending e-mails to relevant

institutions involved in marine education , R&D and training in

Lithuania

The list of institution was created and presented in the report

Since the number of education and R&D institution who work within the

maritime (ship design and ship equipment) is limited in the market in

addition we suggested broader range of institutions involved in Marine

teaching, training and R&D.

3 Short Maritime sector overview

Maritime sector in Lithuania is linked to development of the Klaipeda

seaport, shipbuilding and repair industry. The ship building industry is

concentrated in Klaipeda, the third largest city of Lithuania which is

situated in the Western part of the country. Klaipeda State Seaport

www.portofklaipeda.lt is the northernmost ice free port on the

Eastern coast of the Baltic Sea and currently is on the process of

modernisation and expansion. It is an universal, multimodal,

multipurpose and wide-range port. 19 large stevedoring, dockyard and

shipbuilding companies operate in the port, all services related to the

marine business and cargo handling are rendered at the port. Stevedoring

companies of the port are capable to handle up to 30 million tons of cargo

annually. Klaipeda port is also an important passenger port with modern

ferry terminals. Regular cargo/passenger ferries are operated by regularnavigation lines to Germany, Sweden and Denmark; a new cruise ship

terminal has been built.

Taking in to account that there are 900 shipbuilding and repair companies

in the European Union, which employ more than 350 thousand people. 35

billion euros fall to shipbuilding and repair market in the EU, The market

share of Lithuania having 28 companies with 4.5 thousand employees

is quite small. Shipbuilding and repair is virtually a new branch of industry.

Beside of that Shipbuilding and repair industry takes up a rather stable

position in the general market. The competitiveness is guaranteed by good

geographical location, high quality of works, attractive prices, and

successful activity of Klaipeda port. The biggest Lithuanian shipbuilder and

ship repair is represented by Western Shipyard http://www.wsy.lt ,

25/172

Since Lithuania joint EU in 2004 some changes took the place in this very

industry. Heavily increased expenditures raised the prices of shipbuilding

and repair works. The energy and labor costs have increased notably, too.

The prevailing misbalance between supply and demand the latter is less

than supply also reduced the competitiveness of shipbuilders and ship

repairers.

The situation was also worsened by emigration problems that have

emerged after the EU enlargement. Qualified specialists from Lithuania

leave for work to Scandinavian countries, and country is forced to look for

missing workers in Russia, the Ukraine. Although good specialists arrive

from there, but their qualification documents do not meet the EU

requirements. The country invests a lot for their qualification. Big

investments are made in training and retraining employees in different

training centres. Major institutions providing training and cooperation

with shipbuilding companies are Klaipeda School of Shipbuilders and

Repairers which trains qualified workers ; Klaipeda University whicheducates engineering employees including ship design specialist .

But from these educational institutions country receive marine business

specialists more of general profile. Therefore, the companies have to

send their employees for training to specialized higher schools in other

countries. More information about education and training in marine see in

the chapters bellow.

Klaipeda University has been developing as most important an

autonomous, distance educational and scientific centre for marine

industry. Klaipeda University is one of the youngest among Lithuanian

university level high schools, founded on October 5, 1990, at the very

beginning of Lithuanian independence re-establishment. During a

relatively short period of its existence, the University has been developing

successfully both in terms of quality and quantity. The teaching staff ingeneral is represented by approximately 431 professors, associate

professors, lecturers, and instructors.

5 Basic characterization of the research system

Lithuania like any other post-soviet country which had a centrally planned

economy, had to build a new policy from the previously left fragmented and

separated R&D, education and industry development policies. However the actual

integration of the existing national innovation system and R&D is not the case for

today yet. R&D on the one hand and innovation on the other hand still

remain separate systems in Lithuania.

Lithuania ranks 19th out of 25 EU countries and in 24th place out of 33 countries.It performs slightly above the EU average for innovation drivers, due to good

performance on all education indicators except for life-long learning. Lithuania

suffers from extremely low levels of business R&D, which is partly

compensated by excessive levels of university R&D funded by business

(at 235% the EU average).

The strengths of the Lithuanian R&D system reside in the high tech areas, such

as biotechnologies, laser, mechatronics, which represent only 4% of the

Lithuanian industrial structure.

Most of scientific results today are developed through the participation in

international science programmers , where Lithuanian researchers have found

their niche and are serving as intellectual input providers.

By fact EU accession in May 2004 allowed to double amount of funds available for

R&D and innovation In Lithuania. According to interviews received investment in

marine sector in R&D and innovation are mainly are focusing in environmentfield in the Baltic Sea area and in Klaipeda State sea port modernization and

expansion.(More detailed info on R&D please sees in chapter 6).

Lithuanian R&D system consists:15 Public and 6 private Universities

17 State Research Institutes

18 University Research Institutes

7 State Research Establishments

Netherlands, of which four institutes are international colleges, whilst the remaining seven arenational colleges.

The maritime education institutes works in close cooperation with the shipping industry and shipowners. The colleges have to some extent also their own research institutes/laboratories.Most of the institutes have their own training vessels and extensive training facilities.Training with simulators is common practice.

We have also included Delft University of Technology (TU-Delft) to the survey of international maritime education institutes, due to the fact that this university has its ownFaculty of Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering. TU-Delft is working in closecontact with other maritime education institutes as well as the shipping industry. TU-Delfthas its own research laboratory / department.

In addition, the address of the Royal Netherlands Naval Defence College has been included inthis survey and listed as a national maritime education institute.

The most important maritime research institute in the Netherlands is MARIN in Wageningen.This institute also has contact with SINTEF in Trondheim.

The largest international maritime education institute is the STC-Group in Rotterdam with theScheepvaart en Transport College and the Hogeschool voor de Scheepvaart (NauticalUniversity), both in Rotterdam.

Comments: List of the teachers listed on the website under the blocDocenten.

On the Deltions website there is an article in the regionalnewspaper Zwolse Courant from September 2000 referring tothe fact that the Dutch Merchant Navy is in desperate need of qualified personell.

Due to the reorganisation of the marine education early 1990various maritime educational schools ceased to exist.

Deltion College restarted the education of maritime officer in1998. The education takes 3 years. After this education onecan start with specialisation to captain.

Deltion College works closely together with other maritimeteaching institutions to create educational papers in English inorder to attract foreign students to the college.

The aim is to deliver about 50 maritime officers per school year.
