What is the Maritieme Academie Harlingen?

- Possesses a large amount of expertise.
- Operates the worlds most advanced IWT simulator centre.
- Founding member of EDINNA (Education in Inland Navigation)
- Educates and trains about 35% of European IWT crews.
- a much-valued expert in all IWT related questions to:
- CCNR (Central Commission for Navigation on the Rhine
- European Commission
- UNECE (United Nations Economic Commission for Europe).
- Local and national government.
Why is the Maritieme Academie Harlingen participating in the project?
We are very much interested to broaden the opportunities for our students to find employment or to become an entrepreneur by themselves. Better harmonized rules for accreditation of curricula for crews in IWT is beneficial for our students. This will also ease transnational deployment of crews and lead to a better-balanced labour market. There is an increasing lack of well-educated experienced crew. In fact, ALL students that leave the MAH directly find a job!
