SHIPBOARD FAMILIARIZATION

Launched to coincide with the introduction of the STCW’95, the package explains the main safety, emergency and survival procedures which are now mandatory requirements.

The package includes a video and a workbook. The video guides seafarers through each of the main subject areas using a combination of specially shot footage, graphics and commentary, and draws parallels, where appropriate, with life ashore. To enable seafarers to complete the necessary familiarization training they must complete the appropriate sections of the workbook each time they join a vessel. The workbook contains sections dealing with each of the STCW requirements. It includes question and answer sections which the seafarers must complete. The completed workbook then serves as evidence of the training.
