The Benefits of a Well Trained Crew
The ongoing pressure to operate ships in an environment of ever increasing regulations is a major factor that continues to influence seafarer training. Overlay this regulatory environment with the competitive low-cost nature of shipping and the need for effective seafarer training is heightened.
Another key factor influencing seafarer training is that Port States are less and less tolerant of non-compliant operations. Additional performance requirements are being placed on individual crew members making the entire chain of command accountable for that person's actions, or lack thereof. Criminalization for accidents caused by negligence or inaction is becoming more common.
A ship managers best investment in this new era of compliance and loss prevention is a well-trained crew.
Maritime Training Services can help!
MTS is focused on helping shipping companies improve their onboard training efforts. Our goal is to provide tools for the Officer responsible for onboard training. This person may be an experienced seaman but may have limited teaching experience.
The Training Officer needs continuous support from his shore side and shipboard managers. Maritime Training Services offers additional support in the form of onboard tools designed to help the Training Officer more effectively perform this task.
No two humans receive information and learn in the same way. Some are auditory, some visual, and some kinaesthetic. We have found that a "blended" onboard learning methodology is what meets the needs of most crews. For example, a CBT (Computer Based Training) allows for self-paced instruction whereas an instructor-led video session in a classroom setting allows for interaction and discussion. Both are important, yet neither as effective as when used together
