Under its GloMEEP project, IMO conducted a training workshop in Panama City, Panama, on 25-26 April for maritime educators, so that they introduce the topic of energy-efficient ship operation into their teaching curriculums.
The workshop, aiming to support maritime training institutes to deliver the IMO Model Course 4.05 to seafarers, gathered many educators from Panama and Jamaica.
In particular, according to IMO, the course consisted of lectures, interactive exercises and videos to enhance the learning experience for crews being trained in the two countries, and, thereby, to help them contribute to reducing fuel consumption on ships and cutting associated greenhouse gas emissions.
In total, 30 participants from across Panamanian and Jamaican maritime universities, shipping colleges and institutes attended the event, which was is hosted by the Panama Maritime Authority and carried out by a team of IMO consultants.
