On board training to ease admin

摘要

Moving crew training on board cuts costs, speeds up certification, eases administration, and creates greater on-the-job satisfaction for crew being trained, according to maritime software developer Viking Saatsea. The company was recently acquired by marine safety equipment manufacturer Viking Life-Saving Equipment The company claims that there is a fundamental change taking place in the way shipowners and offshore asset owners train their crews to comply with the Convention on Standards, Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) and Offshore Petroleum Industry Training Organisation (OPITO) requirements, and in the systems they use to track and report on such certifications.
