Training

To keep all crew members up-to-date and ready to react correctly to any kind of emergency, weekly drills and training units are carried out. Crew drills of any kind are compulsory for everybody. They may be exempted by their respective supervisor only and must be approved by the Safety Officer. Date, location and the topic of the respective training unit can be found in the Weekly Safety Training Schedule displayed on the notice board in the crew area. Crewmembers have also the obligation to carry out Computer Based Training (CBT) on the designated training computer.

On the first day you board, you will complete a mandatory safety orientation and training class before the departure of the vessel. In addition, you will be asked to attend daily training sessions for the first 7 to 14 days, depending on your position. These sessions range from safety instructions to technical skill training. Most of these training classes are outside of your regular working hours and are mandatory. You are being provided with additional information regarding training when you get on board and receive the Crew Safety Booklet. All training classes are mandatory. Showing up late or not at all is not an option and may lead to disciplinary action.
