BLUE PORTS | D2.5 Identification of present and future skills needs 38%uf0a7 Roles related to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and other Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in the port context.Regarding training needs, 93% of the respondents estimate that at least 25% of their organization%u2019s workforce will need training, and it is relevant to mention that 32% of respondents estimate that more than 50% of their workforce will need training in Green Transition skills by 2030.One-third of respondents expect their organizations will hire 0-5 employees dedicated to sustainable initiatives by 2030. 15% estimate hiring 6-10 new employees, 15% expect to hire more than 10, and 10% foresee no new hires. The remaining 26% are unsure.FORESIGHT EXERCISEThis section includes the joint analysis results found in the foresight exercise by topic (Blue Economy and Green Transition future trends in small and medium ports; Green related-jobs currently required in small and medium ports; most difficult Green Transition-related professional profiles to recruit nowadays; green related-jobs that could be generated in the port sector in 2030; most required green related-jobs in the port sector in 2030; target groups of the scheme, i.e. which professions in the port ecosystem are priorities for acquiring and/or developing green and blue skills; training priority thematic areas).The analysis per topic and per country of the foresight exercise results, undertaken in the 1stNTC meeting in each of the four countries, is available in ANNEX IV.3.2.1. BLUE ECONOMY AND GREEN TRANSITION FUTURE TRENDSJoint analysis The maritime industry is rapidly transitioning towards sustainability to address environmental concerns and comply with regulations. By 2030, ports are expected to adopt zero-emission technologies, advanced waste management systems, and smart technologies to enhance efficiency and environmental monitoring. This shift will require a workforce skilled in renewable energy, environmental management, data analytics, cybersecurity, and regulatory compliance. Emphasis on circular economy practices will further promote recycling, reusing, and waste reduction.2030 Vision:%uf0a7 Zero-Emission Technologies:o Ports will widely adopt zero-emission technologies such as electric cranes, hydrogen-powered vehicles, and shore power (cold ironing) for vessels.o Requires expertise in renewable energy systems and maintenance.
