The partners of the international Danube educational project HINT (www.hintproject.net) have discussed the idea of a joint Danube School Ship with potential users and developed a pre-feasibility study. In order to learn the requirements for a school ship in the Danube region, 51 companies and institutions in seven Danube countries have been interviewed, the majority of them being nautical educational institutions, vessel operators, port operators and administrative bodies. The aim of the concept at hand is to establish a framework for the use of a joint Danube School Ship and to build the basis for an actual implementation project. The document describes a feasible manner for the technical, educational and organisational design of such a vessel. More information you may find in the executive summary of the concept or in the document itself. Additionally, a feedback form has been elaborated for interiew purposes.
