000011182 520__ $$aMarine electrical engineering issues have been recognized for long as of major importance especially due to the extensive electrification of all system onboard ships according to the all electric ship concept. Nowadays, that green shipping policy has become predominant based IMO’s and EU resolutions, electrification is the ultimate key towards achieving difficult goals. Besides using electrical means to increase performance of ships, an additional example being a large scale  project at international level is the implementation of shore side electricity so that ships while at berth shut down completely their engines and get electricity from shore which is, in general, produced by more environmentally friendly methods. The last challenge emerged is related with the offshore plants used to host wind generators in the deep sea. Within this context a new Continuous Professional Development (CPD) course is under development by the University of Strathclyde via the cooperation of the National Technical University of Athens.
IMarEST has recognized the augmenting demands in the electrical related area since the 1990’s and has been relatively. Currently, a Special Interest Group on Marine Electrical issues it to be rejuvenated using the substantial background of MECSS successfully coordinated up to recently by K. Daffey. 
This paper is to highlight the needs for cultivation of branches of knowledge required in electrical areas of maritime industry, summarizing the new initiatives to substantially respond to these challenges providing ways to reinforce relevant skills and expertise of crews onboard ships but also of technical staff working in ports or to support offshore plants.
