Objective
The MASSOP project aims to create workable new organisational forms for the shipping industry. It is based upon the idea that the traditional rigid "command and control" hierarchy, both at sea and ashore, may not be the best solution for today's shipping world.
MASSOP aims to evaluate the global state-of-the-art of present management structures in the shipping industry. The rapidly changing political, economic, social and technical aspects will be studied, and MASSOP aims to provide cost-effective management concepts, in conjunction with studies of other industries and case studies, to improve the performance of shipowners and operators both at sea and ashore.
MASSOP also aims to realistically analyse the likely obstacles to growth for the European maritime industry and highlight the strengths and weaknesses. This will be seen through the framework of deregulation which is occurring, but balanced with the increased quality standards which are being introduced.
The project will also provide the syllabus for a course in the change of management in the shipping industry. This course is envisaged to be specifically for the senior management of shipping companies.
