DNV Certifies Seagull's Security

Course Package

Det Norske Veritas (DNV) has certified the Seagull

Security Training package according to the DNV

SeaSkill Standard for certification of learning pro- grams. which confirms that the course package is cov- ering the requirements in the ISPS Security Code (Part

B. reg. 13.1 & 13.2), and the drafted competence requirements from the IMO model course outlines given in STC 34/14 (Annex 7 & 8).

The courses have been developed in close coopera- tion with renowned UK-based Maritime & Underwater

Security Consultants (MUSC). The Security Training

Programs includes on-board CBT training for: • General Security Awareness for crew (controlling ship operations & care of persons onboard) • Ship Security Officer • Automatic Identification System

In addition, a thorough yet streamlined classroom course is available for Company Security Officers - those managers responsible for developing and imple- menting company-wide security plans. Contact us for more information.

The human factor remains the key element in man- aging any type of risk exposure, including security risks. The best way to manage security risks is to ensure that all staff are trained and prepared in both security measures specific to your operations and external requirements/regulations set as industry "best practices."

Seagull Maritime Training can provide top quality, certified, cost & time effective, security training ready for the July 2004 implementation date, and available ongoing.

LR Launches Distance Learning Training Program

HPMS is an alternative hull survey regime for selected ship types based on the alignment and integration of classifi- cation requirements with an operator's existing hull inspection and maintenance programme. It enables operators who have already demonstrated a commitment to maintenance management to empower selected, accredited shipboard staff to carry out regular hull inspections. The results are then presented to a Lloyd's Register Group surveyor for ver- ification during the annual class survey. The CD-ROM contains multiple modules that cover a variety of general and ship-type specific topics, including An Introduction to Classification, Personal Health and Safety, General Ship

Knowledge, Inspections and Marine Coatings. The ship-type specific modules illustrate the design and construction processes for that particular ship type, along with details of common defects. Such units have been prepared for gas carriers, passenger ships, container ships, vehicle carriers and RoRo ships. Users are required to demonstrate their understanding of each unit by completing an in-built assessment. After completion of the distance learning program, participants attend a one or two day training workshop, either ashore or onboard one of the operator's ships. The lat- ter option clearly provides the best method for practical demonstrations but is subject to the availability of a suitable ship. The workshop repeats some of the distance learning material in greater detail, with emphasis on the identifica- tion of defects, repairs and the reporting of inspection. Upon successful completion of the training course, ship's staff are issued a certificate of authorisation which qualifies them to undertake hull inspections on the particular ship type they received training on. Authorisation is valid for five years, after which time ship's staff must undergo refresher training.
