NMU, with its commitment to contribute to the sustainability of the maritime industry in the North Sea Region, recognizes the global scope of the industry and wants to extend the network of stakeholders and of potential beneficiaries of the project. Brazil has a growing maritime industry and is in the process of organizing their maritime cluster. Brazil’s significance cannot be missed out by the maritime cluster in the North Sea area. Hence, NMU project member Enrico Lobrigo visited the Brazilian maritime cluster and promoted the transnational network of universities. Within his journey, Enrico Lobrigo succeeded to get in touch with important maritime players in Brazil who are interested in being part of the NMU network and are keen on having an active exchange of experiences. Contacts have been established with institutions and shipping companies such as Syndarma (Union of Brazilian Shipowners), CIAGA Maritime College, Department of Ports and Coasts of the Brazilian Navy, Transpetro/Petrobras, CBO Offshore Shipping, and NORSUL Navigation.
