    Abstract

    This article describes the outcome of a survey initiated by the Danish Maritime Fund (DMF).
    The survey resulted in a report that describes the engineering competencies requested by the
    Danish maritime industry. This is of interest since the desired competencies have changed in
    the past one to two decades, where Denmark no longer has a considerable ship-building
    industry. Furthermore, the DMF initiated report concludes that the demand for maritime
    engineers in the industry is larger than the output. The report sets forth a series of
    recommendations to the industry as well as the universities to enable meeting the demand for
    maritime engineers in Denmark. The recommendations are outlined together with the work
    commenced at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and the University of Southern
    Denmark (SDU) to follow up on the recommendations in the report.
