Abstract At its own option the European science community is lacking proper and reliable knowledge

concerning cooperation possibilities between their marine and maritime areas.

Every scene has its own expertise about funding possibilities, research demands and –topics but

nowhere near high is the number of expertises in possibilities of cooperation. For this reason the

project EMAR2RES was set up by the most influential Associations from both communities.

This report shall offer a first database and foundation about their specific services to offer and where

they are missing the opportunity of cooperation.

For this reasons not only a simple desktop study was performed, furthermore comprehensive

questionnaires were developed and sent to the most promising stakeholders all over Europe.

According to the above mentioned reasons this stakeholder-analysis was realised in following steps

of evaluation:

Predefinition of most promising stakeholders of both communities

Preparation of questionnaire and competence matrices

Survey phase

Evaluation phase

Compilation of this report

Recipients The Waterborne Transport Platform was founded in 2005 by the Maritime Industries Forum and its

R&D-Committee. It is making strident efforts to regularly update R&D requirements for European

competitiveness, innovation and the meeting of regulations like safety and environment.1

In general The Waterborne TP represents stakeholders from several maritime branches like:

Ship-owners (deep-, short- and inland shipping)

Shipyards

Marine equipment manufacturers

Classification societies

Ports

Research and development institutions

etc.

Hence the Waterborne TP was chosen to build the backbone of recipients concerning the EMAR2Res

stakeholder survey in the maritime area.

Lately the Waterborne TP represents the most complete and capacious profile regarding the

European Maritime Area that is available-

In Figure 1: Structure of Waterborne TP the Waterborne TP members are displayed.

Annotation for stakeholders outside this survey:

MARTEC II - Maritime Technologies as an ERA-NET The ERA-NET MARTEC II aims at further deepening, broadening and strengthening the established

transnational cooperation based on the experience gained and the existing cooperation structures.

The general themes for research, such as environmental protection, safety and security, the use of IT,

and the development of innovative products, are being addressed in almost all national research

programmes. The potential thus exists for European partners to share a research platform and

develop coordinated activities.

The research fields included in this ERA-NET project include: shipbuilding, ship and port operation,

maritime equipment and services, inland water and intermodal transport, offshore

industry/technology, offshore structures for renewable energy, fishing/aquaculture, polar

technology, environmental impact, safety and security, and human elements

MARTEC is a partnership of 28 European ministries and funding organizations responsible for funding

RTD in maritime technologies from 24 countries. All together these countries represent about 95 %

of the gross tonnage (GT) of shipbuilding output in Europe which shows that this network already

covers the EU key players in that field.

The consortium members of MARTEC are: German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology;

Research Centre Juelich GmbH, Germany; The Research Council of Norway; Ministry for Ecology,

Energy, Sustainable Development and the Sea, France; Centre d'Etudes Techniques Maritimes et

Fluviales; the Association of Finnish Marine Industries; Tekes, the National Technology Agency of

Finland; Instituto Tecnológico para el Desarrollo de las Industrias Maritimas, Spain; The Danish

Maritime Authority; Ministry for Economic Affairs, The Netherland; Universitatea Dunarea de Jos Din

Galati, Romania and the Swedish Maritime Administration.

other ERA-NETs ERA-NETs are not a legal entity and therefore not a stakeholder in this context. Because of this, the

question to the participants was included whether they are joining any ERA Initiative. (Compare

Member states Member states were not considered directly because of their comprehensive structures, which were

hardly to include from our point of view. Furthermore they are represented by many national

organizations.

International Association of Marine Aids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities - IALA IALA is a non-profit, non-governmental international technical association. Established in 1957, it

gathers marine aids to navigation authorities, manufacturers and consultants from all parts of the

world and offers them the opportunity to compare their experiences and achievements. IALA’s aim is

to harmonize aids to navigation worldwide and to ensure that the movements of vessels are safe,

expeditious, cost effective and harmless to the environment.

A number of technical committees have been established bringing together experts from around the

World, taking into account the needs of mariners, developments in technology and the requirements

and constraints of aids to navigation authorities. The work of these committees is aimed at

developing common standards through publication of IALA Recommendations and Guidelines.

http://www.iala-aism.org

European Maritime Safety Agency - EMSA The European Maritime Safety Agency (EMSA) was established as a regulatory agency as a major

source of support to the European Commission and the Member States in the field of maritime

safety and prevention of pollution from ships, and subsequent amendments have refined and

enlarged its mandate. EMSA’s operational tasks include oil pollution response, satellite monitoring

and in long-range identification and tracker of vessels (LRIT)

http://www.emsa.europa.eu

International Maritime Organization - IMO IMO is the United Nations specialized agency with responsibility for the safety and security of

shipping and the prevention of marine pollution by ships. The mission of the International Maritime

Organization is to promote safe, secure, environmentally sound, efficient and sustainable shipping

through cooperation. This will be accomplished by adopting the highest practicable standards of

maritime safety and security, efficiency of navigation and prevention and control of pollution from

ships, as well as through consideration of the related legal matters and effective implementation of

IMO’s instruments with a view to their universal and uniform application.

http://www.imo.org

Coastguard and SRA organisations Most Member States have Coastguard and SRA organisations, but are currently not represented by a

official European Coastguard organisation.

Requested Documents In the field of activity of work package 2.1 “stakeholder’s identification” two documents were sent

out.

The two documents, precisely a questionnaire and a competence matrix, were sent to specific

persons where this was possible due to the previously efforts made for identifying concrete contact

persons. Since that in many cases tangible contact persons were not available, so that the editors of

the survey had to send it for example to info-mail-addresses at the related companies or

organisations.

Questionnaire In order to identify and create an inventory of relevant stakeholders across marine and maritime

science, the persons in charge for Task 2.1 created a questionnaire composed of 3 main questions

and a matrix. The collected data was supposed to give the opportunity to map the marine and

maritime landscape and in order to identify potential development strategies in a more dedicated

way.

Especially related to the following tasks

Task 2.2 “Linking the Marine and Maritime Science and Research Visions”

Task 2.3 “Initiating a structured dialogue” the questionnaire can become a very help- and meaningful position.

For a more dedicated way on the concrete contents please compare Appendix 1.

Competence Matrix The competence matrix which was also developed during the preperational phase of Task 2.1 is

believed to allow a more sophisticated way of mapping and assessing the relationships between the

potential stakeholders addressed during the survey. The matrix is the most important source of

information and basically the core of the whole survey.

The following explanation was given to the recipients as an instruction manual how to fill it and at

the same time to convey the recipients to the underlying methodology.

“In the header row (dark yellow and green) please identify the adequate maritime/marine field you‘re

involved in (e.g. dredging industry, research institute, university etc.). In most cases, you should select

only one field.

Below this line, there are two domains (in yellow and blue):

"Services" = Describe your core competences or the offer to other stakeholders respectively clients.

"Needs" = Describes your specific requirements to perform your job.

The vertical header column (in grey) indicates possible stakeholders’ "Areas of Expertise". Please

indicate whether certain specific "Services" or "Needs" in one particular area of expertise

fit/correspond to the current and/or desired operability/functioning of your organization. In most

cases, you will have to complete one column only (corresponding to your field of activity - see point 1

above)”


Page 8 of 47

Response In fact the quantity of response was completely unsatisfying. It is estimated that the main reasons

are to a high proportion of outdated e-mail addresses, which were partly collected on the Internet.

On the other hand, the spring- and Easter holidays might be also a reason.

Due to the fact that responses received in this survey came from several parts of the maritime

community like

Ports

Inland shipping

Universities

Marine suppliers

Shipyards-/-owners representatives

Research institutes

still a good distribution is available which delivers an acceptable overview. Therefore, we believe that

the present results nonetheless will have some benefits for further disseminations’ even when there

isn´t a quantitative- but a good qualitative distribution given.

Table 2: Key Figures of recipients

Marked in red we see an overview about correspondences received during the survey. The Survey

was done in a period of about 6 months and started in November 2009 with desk study that aimed to

achieve a stakeholder’s inventory.

In February 2010 the desktop study as well as the preparation of all related documents for starting

the survey was finished so that it could be finally started in March 2010 with sending out the

documents towards the recipients.

The evaluation of results and preparation of the present report were performed in April 2010.

Results and Evaluation of responses

Figure 2: Way of evaluation

Figure 2 provides a first overview of the approach by the summation of responses up to the

derivation of the most promising research areas.

In the first step of the evaluation it was supposed to differentiate and quantify the results from the

areas of service and needs.

The second step is a further differentiation according to the particular types of business forms.

Addressed for the maritime community wasn´t just parent non-profit institutions also potential

industrial stakeholders were asked for their input.

In the concluding step of evaluating an assessment was performed which research- and activity areas

might offer the most promising opportunities for further cooperation with the marine sector.

In Table 3: Landscape of participants a first overview about the structure of participants regarding

this survey is displayed.

Mapping of Services and needs

Services

Figure 3: Visualization of summarized services

In Figure 3 we see the most often called line of actions where services are supposed to be offered

from the maritime participants of this survey.

The biggest accordance was pronounces for the areas of Design methods and –tools,

Hydromechanics as well as Training and Education. By enlarging the point of view to the next level of

nominations we see also accordance in the field of Maritime Simulation, Ship operation, Standard

and Rules as well as Testing.

Two Areas which are pretty complement to each other are “Design methods and –tools” together

with “Maritime Simulation”. These parts should be accentuated and taken into account for further

investigations.

Maritime Simulation

Hydromechanics

Training and Education

Testing

Design methods and –tools

Ship operation

Needs

Figure 7: Visualization of summarized needs

In Figure 7 we see the most often called line of actions where needs are demanded from the

maritime participants of this survey.

The biggest accordance was pronounced for the areas of Field Inspection, Marine Research,

Navigation and Training and Education. By enlarging the point of view to the next level of

nominations we see also accordance in the field of Environmental services, Human Factors Research

and Testing.

Two Areas which are pretty complement to each other are “Marine Research” together with

“Environmental Sciences”. These parts should be accentuated and taken into account for further

investigations especially in the context with cooperation’s with institutions from the marine science

community which surely can offer services in that area.

Conclusions and derivations

Cooperation The most part of the respondents (about 75%) applied that they are having already maritime

interactions in a Research and Development context, which was an expected reply for the maritime

community. For further investigations it is even more interesting how the reactions on already

existing cooperation with the maritime scene are formulated

About 50% of the respondents answered that they already have interactions on the marine sector

especially in questions of environmental relevance like marine biodiversity, climate effects or

pollution of the seas. Also some respondents are already active in the Directorate General for

Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (DG MARE) which describes its own goals as followed.

“To steer, in close relationship with stakeholders at regional and European level, the development

and implementation of the Integrated Maritime Policy and to manage the Common Fisheries Policy

with a view to promote the sustainable development of maritime activities as well as the sustainable

exploitation of fisheries resources within and beyond Community waters.”3

Also engagement in the FP7 Project MARCOM+ were named, which mainly focuses on the

cooperation between marine and maritime science communities.

Conclusions on improving further surveys Based on the results following conclusions are allowed:

The quantity of responses was not really satisfying and especially the fact that in specific cases not

even one recipient from an organisation was answering is a really disappointing result. But anyway it

should be still possible to derive some further conclusions which are useful for considerations in

work package 2 on joint visions for the marine and maritime science and research.

In general surveys of this kind could be purified by some improvements like:

online questionnaire Which might offer bigger potentials of responses because it´s much more convenient to fill for the recipient. Also a time saving-aspect for the recipient as well as the evaluator is given.

Personal request by their specific superior organisation. It becomes obvious that a personal relation between the person in charge who sends out the

questionnaire and the recipient is of prime importance to get an satisfying number of feedback.

Reference to next steps It has to be considered that at a stage of differentiation as displayed in Figure 5 and Figure 6 as well

as in Figure 9 and Figure 10 it is only partly a generality available. From here, as a follow-up, maybe it

is needful to do further investigations using a new Questionnaire which is specifically tailored to the

needs of the identified areas. The final and desired objective will be at least to have clustered and

organized list of the marine and maritime organizations by order of scientific priorities and by type of

organizations, which has to be done in the next work steps.

1- Presentation of the marine research landscape For EMAR2RES Task 2.1, the Marine Board-ESF, sole marine partner in this FP 7 project, hereby presents to its maritime partners a high-level overview of the European marine research landscape. Figure 1 on the following page presents a model of this landscape structured according to two major clusters: geographical and topical. In a second step, marine organisations and initiatives have been categorised based on their legal status/governance (e.g. programme, networks, projects, intergovernmental, etc.). It is worth noting that:

- This list of EU marine (research) organisations and projects is not exhaustive; key actors and main marine related initiatives of pan-European relevance were included. Cross-references and linkages across those clusters can be further established for many organisations listed here. For the sake of clarity and consistency, we focused on the main research activity performed (or the main geographical interests) by the organisations/initiatives mentioned.

2- Methodology A short questionnaire (co-developed with EMAR²RES maritime partners) accompanied by an Excel matrix (see following chapters) was sent to to the secretariats of 16 European representative marine organisations (in parallel with the questionnaire sent to maritime organisations by our maritime partners). The questionnaire is shown in Annex 1 of this report. The questionnaire requested basic information on:

- Legal Status - Main activities/research field - Size of the organisation - Sources of funding - Networking activities - Interactions/links with maritime partners

Responses from the marine organisations/networks surveyed were collected by the Marine Board Secretariat and represented a return rate of 87.5%. The results are presented in overview in Section 3 below. Section 4 provides a further analysis of the research services provided by these organisations and Section 5 provides an analysis of their research needs.

3- Description of the Marine Research Landscape Tables 1 and 2 below provide basic information (management/governance, research and networking activities) on the 16 marine research organisations/networks surveyed (listed on page3).

6- Conclusions This first “marine” research inventory aims to catalyse interests from a broad range of marine and maritime stakeholders. Results and lessons learned from this survey reveal that:

- Marine research stakeholders did express positively their interest in the EMAR²RES initiative as it paves the way towards more coordinated efforts within the marine research community and calls for more interactions and synergies with its maritime counterpart;

- There is a need and a willingness to learn better from each other i) on respective

legal/management/governance systems in place at the organisational level and ii) in the mutual understanding of respective marine core competences and capacities, both in terms of research services and needs.

- European marine stakeholder Secretariats appeared to be the appropriate level at which to

conduct this assessment: o It provided easy and rapid access/feedbacks of information from other marine

stakeholders; o It eased the information treatment process as these European Secretariats represent

the main European “voice” in their field; o It allowed future assessments in the frame of EMAR2RES tasks (comparability studies,

information treatment, transferability methods, etc.). As a first attempt, this inventory has limitations:

o It deserves the inclusion of information from more marine stakeholders and o It requires a refinement/fine-tuning of marine/maritime research fields and priorities

to facilitate the match and complementarities between marine/maritime research services and needs.

Next steps: Based on this first mapping exercise/inventory, we must now further assess the possibilities to promote and develop synergies, complementarities and bridges, as appropriate, between the European marine and maritime communities. This will contribute to the EMAR2RES goals of initiating a structured dialogue and developing common strategies between the two communities (EMAR2RES Task 2.3 “Initiating a structured dialogue”, in complement with Task 2.2 “Linking the Marine and Maritime Science and research Visions”).

EMAR2RES

Questionnaire: “Stakeholder Identification”

(3 questions + Matrix)

Brussels, 1 Juli 2011

Dear Sir/Madam,

We kindly request the assistance of your organisation in completing an important task in the EU FP7

Project, EMAR²RES. In our opinion, you are a relevant stakeholder in the maritime/marine research

community who is in a position to provide advice on innovative and holistic research and

development strategies.

Context and objective of EMAR²RES project in general:

Through the EMAR2RES project, European Marine/Maritime Science and Research Communities will

identify and establish appropriate mechanisms to strengthen cross-sectoral and interdisciplinary

cooperation between both research communities. This will facilitate both communities to better

take advantage of new market opportunities and to address global challenges (e.g. Climate Change)

by means of focused R&D.

To tackle global issues such as Climate Change and Competitiveness, the EMAR2RES consortium is

aiming to identify and generate a framework of cooperation between the two communities (e.g.

areas of common interest, possible synergies). It will focus on maritime transport but will form the

basis for a wider reflection in the future.

Page 41 of 47

Objective of EMAR²RES´ Stakeholder identification: a short questionnaire

In order to identify and create an inventory of the relevant key stakeholders across marine and

maritime science, the EMAR2RES Task Leaders have created a simple questionaire composed of 3

main questions and a matrix (see following pages). The data collected will allow us to better map the

marine and maritime research landscape and to identify potential developmental strategies. In order

to avoid duplication, please note that this exercise will also feed and complement the MARCOM+ FP7

project ” Towards an Integrated Marine and Maritime Science Community” and its task on

“Identification of existing European Marine and Maritime Research Representative Organisations”.

We would be very grateful if you could take the time to complete this questionnaire and return it to

us. Thank you very much in advance for your assistance in this project.

Yours faithfully,

Willem Laros

Chairman Technical Advisory Committee

CESA Community of European Shipyards´ Association

Page 43 of 47

Please find the marine/maritime competence matrix in the separate .xl file.

This is the most important source of information for this assessment as it will allow us to better

map and assess relationships between all marine and maritime stakeholders.

Brief instructions for completing the matrix:

1- In the header row (dark yellow and green) please identify the adequate maritime/marine field you

‘re involved in (e.g. dredging industry, research institute, university etc.). In most cases, you should

select only one field.

Below this line, there are two domains (in yellow and blue):

- "Services" = Describe your core competences or the offer to other stakeholders respectively clients.

- "Needs" = Describes your specific requirements to perform your job.

2- The vertical header column (in grey) indicates possible stakeholders’ "Areas of Expertise". Please

indicate whether certain specific "Services" or "Needs" in one particular area of expertise

fit/correspond to the current and/or desired operability/functionning of your organisation. In most

cases, you will have to complete one column only (corresponding to your field of activitiy - see point

1 above)
