Sail for Ethics
Description
Sail for Ethics has been launched in 2013 and it is currently implemented on a step-by-step basis. Each step is SWOT analyzed and production costs modeled on a prospective budget:<br />
<br>First step - 2013-2015<br />
<br>- acquire and renovate a used cargo ship/trawler to model technical aspects and budget (82' ship bought in 2013, currently under renovation)<br />
<br>- promote concept among institutions and private sector at international level and gather sponsors (under way)<br />
<br>- build up training professional team and document renovation technics (2014-15)<br />
<br>- investigate goods, passengers and tourism market models (2014-15)<br />
<br>Second step - 2016-2018<br />
<br>- set up first Sustainable Harbor -S4ESH- in a developing/emerging country (2016)<br />
<br>- carry on first professional training on ship renovation on S4ESH (2017-18)<br />
<br>Third step - 2019-2021<br />
<br>- establish network of S4ESH across several countries (2019)<br />
<br>- renovate various S4E ships in different S4ESH<br />
<br>- develop national and international transport market<br />
<br>
Sail for Ethics relies on a two key axes:<br />
<br>- a permanent transfer of knowledge and technology from developed to developing/emerging countries at local scale<br />
<br>- strong capacity-building process supported by local ownership of the project<br />
<br>The S4E Ship Renovation Guide<br />
<br>S4E is currently collaborating with experts from highly skilled shipyards specialized on cargo/trawler and sailing ship construction and renovation (Netherlands, France, Poland) to write the S4E Ship Renovation Guide to be used to professionally train local workers on renovating used cargoes/trawler on hybrid sailing cargoes/passenger ships<br />
<br>The S4E Training Centers<br />
<br>Each S4E Sustainable Harbor -S4ESH- will hold a training center with the required technologic tools and experts to train local workers.<br />
<br>Local sessions of exchange knowledge will take place on a regular basis.<br />
<br>The S4E Knowledge Platform -S4EKP- will foster exchange of experience, best practices and knowledge among all local and national S4ESH groups, trainers and stakeholders.
Sail for Ethics -S4E- coordination mechanism relies on a network of local settled S4E Sustainable Harbors Centers -S4ESHC- that manage the reconstruction and maintenance of their own fleet. A S4E National Coordinator -S4ENC- represents all S4ESHC from each country at the S4E World Coordination Platform -S4EWCP-. The S4EWCP is managed by three S4E Coordinators -S4EC-, permanently working together, each of them being in charge of one of the following missions: Production, Finances, Communication. They are nominated by the S4ENC who own a percentage of votes corresponding to the number of S4ESH their country owns.<br />
<br>The S4ESHC coordinate activities -transport, training, promotion- at national level while the S4EWCP coordinates them at international level.
