The future

OBT – Why ?

4

• It is the best environment for learning, as one has all the necessary equipment, time and resources available in one place

• Capable of practical, interactive exercises which is an ideal methodology for learning and retaining knowledge

• It is good stepping stone for junior staff who has gained the knowledge but need more hands on training with actual equipment /scenarios

• To reinforce shore based training and education and emphasise best practices consistently across the fleet

OBT – Why?

5

• Management can focus on one to one training when needed to rectify a particular issue ( e.g. navigation compliance, SMS etc. ) identified through appraisals or incidents.

• Training is more focussed on undertaking real tasks in the actual working environment with the support of experienced trainers (e.g.- enclosed space entries, risk assessments, mooring preparations, emergency drills etc.).

• Crew are more receptive to training as they have no other distractions such as family commitments / travel / lack of time etc.

OBT – When?

6

• Individual CBT off watch• Group video/discussion planned as part of regular drills• On-board trainers when the vessel is on 7-12 day sea passages• Training to be done with due consideration to work/ rest hours and other

operational needs• Bringing vessels into management

OBT – What?

10

• Mooring Operations • OWS and Safe Incinerator Operation• Bunkering • Behavioural Based Safety • PPE• Safety Officer & Safety Committee• Company SMS and the use of “ShipSure” • Oil Record Book Part 1• Navigation Standards• Chemical Tanker Operations

CBT – What?

11

• Fuel ManagementFuel Management is the handling of fuel from the moment it crosses the bulwark until it is burned. Doing it right is essential for the safe and efficient operation of the ship.

• Ship Energy Efficiency Management Plan

SEEMP Course will guide seafarers and vessel operators on how to reduce energy consumption onboard and implement a SEEMP.

CBT – What?

12

• Secure Anchoring and Effective Inspection

This course explains how to anchor effectively and safely, to prevent anchor loss. Inspection is key to identifying problems with the anchoring system early and this will be studied in detail.

• Volatile Organic Compounds Emission Control

VOC course explains the environmental and safety impact of VOC and describe the options and best practice for VOC emission control summarise the use of Ship Specific VOC Emission Control Plan under Marpol Annex VI 15.6

CBT – What?

13

• Vessel General Permit (VGP)The new United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Vessel General Permit (VGP) imposes stringent requirements for the control of waste from ships in US waters together with fines and criminal prosecutions for non-compliance. This new computer based training course is to train both sea and shore staff in this complicated new legislation.

• Catering and HygieneThe Catering course includes 16 cooking demonstration videos and over 140 recipes from various ethnic cuisines to enable Cooks to prepare meals for mixed nationality crews. Food handlers have an ethical responsibility to safeguard food so that it does not cause illness or harm. Galley workers are directly responsible for ensuring that the food served onboard is not only tasty but also safe.

CBT – What?

14

• STCW Security TrainingWith effect from 1st January 2014, all seafarers, regardless of their role on board, will need to demonstrate an understanding of Security Awareness, in accordance with STCW 2010, Section A-VI/6 paragraph 4.

Marlins new "STCW Security Training" consist with two courses:

Security Awareness (for sea staff without designated security duties)

This course is intended for seafarers and people working on board vessels who do not have designated

security duties. It is intended to give crew the required knowledge to enhance maritime security awareness by

recognising security threats, and understanding the need for and methods of maintaining security awareness and vigilance.

Security Duties (for sea staff with designated security duties)

This course is intended for seafarers and people working onboard vessels who have designated security duties. It is intended to give those crew members with senior or deck security roles, an additional level of understanding and mitigation of the threat.

CBT – What?

15

• Risk AssessmentThe Risk Assessment Course:

– examines the aims and benefits of doing risk assessment

– outlines the key stages in carrying out effective risk assessment and management

– provides students with a step-by-step– practical guide to filling out a risk assessment

form.

• Accident InvestigationThe Accident Investigation Course:

– examines the nature of accidents and how they occur– provides a step-by-step guide to carrying out effective

accident investigation according to the type of accident which occurs

– highlights interview techniques and protocol.

CBT – What?

16

• Environmental AwarenessThe Environmental Awareness Course:

– examines the ways in which shipping contributes to global pollution and the effects this has on the environment

– highlights international rules and regulations introduced to prevent / reduce pollution.

• Oily Water SeparatorsThe Oily Water Separator Course covers:

– environmental problems caused by oil pollution and the MARPOL regulations adopted

– common issues with oily water separators– how oily water separators and oil content monitors

work– maintenance procedures and their importance– the Oil Record Book and how to complete it– updated to include MEPC.187(59) amendments.

OBT – How?

OBT - Limitations

21

• This cannot replace the theoretical classroom shore based / college training . It only

enhances the knowledge with more practice and experience and interaction.

• It is important that every trainer uses the standard / agreed format so that there is

consistency in training on every vessel. The trainers require training.

• If not planned carefully and carried out diligently the training may become more of

hindrance/ disliked on-board, as vessel operational needs always take priority ( e.g.

frequent port calls, longer cargo operations etc.)

• Trainer visits are more costly than classroom training and take longer to cover the

fleet.

• Good crew retention is essential to get back the return on investment.

• Record keeping currently a manual process.

• But……….

OBT – Conclusions

24

• It works – but is not a substitute for education.

• It enables training to be targeted at individuals or vessels.

• Shipboard Trainers are more costly than shore based classroom training.

• There is the opportunity to improve methods of delivery and enhance “self service” with the use of technology.
