About Stiftelsen Norsk Maritim Kompetanse

Stiftelsen Norsk Maritim Kompetanse supports workforce development in Norway’s maritime sector, with a clear emphasis on recruitment, training, and occupational health and safety (HMS) for Norwegian seafarers. Its grants are designed to ensure there are enough onboard training placements for apprentices, cadets, and junior officers, aligning maritime education with industry and societal needs. The foundation appears to work closely with sector stakeholders and funds practical, job-linked training rather than broad charitable programs.

Giving Approach

Programmatic, sector-specific grants in Norway, including project support and per-diem/sats-based subsidies for training positions. Funding is typically reimbursed after costs are incurred and tied to approved training placements or board-approved project priorities. Grant decisions are made by the board with specific application guidelines and deadlines.

How to approach this funder

Monitor SNMK’s website for board-issued guidelines and application rounds, as funding is tied to specific project calls and semiannual deadlines. Applications should clearly document how the project increases maritime recruitment, training capacity, or HMS outcomes, and training-position requests should match eligible trainee categories and required onboard days.
