By partnering with AET & ALAM we can establish a solid foundation of knowledge and hands-on experience for crew to confidently operate these new vessels with safety and fuel efficiency built in.
..said Dr Rudolf Holtbecker, Director Operations, WinGD.
On the back of the transformation of the global maritime industry, the collaboration with DNV is pivotal as sharing of the industry’s best practices will result in either upskilling or re-skilling of the current workforce to ensure their relevancy and thrive in the new operating environment, in addition to attracting new talent with the required competencies to join the industry.
Decarbonization and digitalization are steadily changing the maritime landscape as we collectively strive towards a net-zero future. This necessitates the upskilling and training of seafarers to ensure they have the skills and competence to operate new fuels and technologies introduced onboard safely and efficiently.
