In the last decades, the field of maritime transports has been characterized by an exponential growth in terms of both people and wares moved and/or exchanges. Nevertheless, advancements in employment and business opportunities have not always been accompanied by adequate actions regarding education and training. The result is a scenario characterized by a lack of qualified seafarers in which, in addition, unhomogeneity in competence frameworks, training programs and certification modalities makes mobility across countries an extremely critical task. Such issues have been recently addressed by the O.R.S.A. M.I.NO.R.E. project, whose aim is to develop a reference scenario for the certification of seaman achievements through the use of a shared formal language within a distributed Web based environment relying on smart card technology. In this paper, the preliminary results of this project are discussed, by analyzing the formalization methodology being pursued, and providing the details of the so called electronic European Seaman's Book prototype architecture.
