Fire Fighting at Sea (Edition 4) Series of 5 items
Shipboard fire is one of the greatest dangers facing all seafarers. Basic and refresher training in how to prevent and tackle fires on board is essential for all officers and crew and is a requirement under STCW.
Videotel’s flagship five-part series, ‘Fire Fighting at Sea’, has been completely revised and updated to reflect current regulations and industry good practice. With the help of marine fire specialists, industry representatives from several shipping companies and with all new video footage throughout shot on board ship and in a fire training facility, these five programmes are realistic and important to any member of a ship’s crew.

Behaviour Based Safety Series of 4 items

In an effort to further encourage all personnel to be safe and to work safely at all times, therefore reducing any potential for injury, Northern Marine Management have implemented a safety process called 'Behaviour Based Safety ' (BBS) onboard all managed vessels.
The BBS process reinforces that 'safety' is part of the day to day operation of the vessel and is made up of the following key ingredients:
Identifying why people behave in a certain way and what causes behaviours An established list of 'Key Safety Behaviours' Proper observation techniques Quality observations to find barriers to working safely Effective supervision Providing positive feedback Collecting and analysing the data from observations Removing barriers identified by observations
BBS does not replace any other part of Northern Marine 's safety programme. BBS is designed to supplement all the existing procedures in place to assure that the work environment is safe and all personnel have the skills and equipment they need to perform a job safely.
To assist with the implementation of the process, Northern Marine have produced a series of 4 video programmes entitled:
- Part 1: Introduction
- Part 2: What makes us take risks
- Part 3: Observer training and feedback
- Part 4: Managing the process
BBS has helped Northern Marine achieve a 48% reduction in their Loss Time Injury rate in the first year of implementation. These programmes are now available from Videotel for use by any shipping company planning to implement BBS.
Behaviour Based Safety Part 1 - Introduction
Part 1: Introduction is the first program in the Behaviour Based Safety Series and sets the scene for the further programmes.
In this program we introduce you to the Behaviour Based Safety process and ask "Why are we doing Behaviour Based Safety, and what's in it for us?"

Safety on Superyachts Series of 3 items
Super yachts are a growing sector of the maritime industry. No longer represented by a handful of privately owned exotic vessels driven by steam or sail, super yachts are now a serious business, marketing luxury charter holidays, VIP events and conference facilities.
Super yachts are large, with some vessels in excess of 3000 GT. Super yachts require fully certified crews for maritime operation with many carrying ancillary personnel for catering, housekeeping and leisure activities. All those serving on board super yachts must comply with STCW requirements and be fully aware of their responsibilities and environment.
This series looks at all the different ways that you can improve your own safety, and the safety of the people around you - not just the people you work with, but the yacht’s owner, the owner’s guests, and anyone else on board.

Shipshape - A Guide to Good Housekeeping Series of 3 items
The appearance of a vessel reflects not only the standard of the management and customer service that a shipping line offers, but also indicates that a high level of safety, efficiency, solid organisation and good seamanship is maintained at all times. The key to this operational success is good housekeeping and aimed at all seafarers and shore based management - a team effort, not just on board ship, but also on shore.
In this series of three programmes, we raise awareness of the importance of good housekeeping on board ship and show how to make it a vital part of everyday shipboard life. When good housekeeping becomes part of the company culture, any faults or deficiencies will be detected and rectified quickly. An added benefit of good housekeeping is far less scope is left for a Port State Control Inspection to reveal unexpected problems.
