Competence
Development

We provide tailored training on-board and ashore to improve Officers' knowledge and skills

Just like vessels need technical maintenance do seafarers knowledge and skills need to be regularly honed, as pointed out by the UK MAIB;

Ship managers frequently assume that a deck officer’s STCW qualification automatically guarantees a level of competency. The collision between Cosco Hong Kong and Zhe Ling Yu Yun 135 and the recent similar accidents identified in Paragraph 1.11.3, clearly show that this is not the case. An OOW’s knowledge and skills are perishable, and therefore need to be continually monitored, refreshed and developed.

We offer in-service training and competence development on board and/or ashore that is tailored to suit your specific needs.
