Education

The shipping industry is a unique industry with its own unique operating environment. Ensuring that your staff and crews are appropriately trained and educated is essential.

Further to this, the industry itself has many unique aspects to it and as a result there is no “one size fits all” approach to training employees. Each organisation will have distinctive requirements when it comes to the development of educational programs for both new and existing staff.
