- 70% used videos;
- Over 80% said the same for simulators;
- At least 14% of respondents indicated that they do not employ the use of mentoring or coaching in their organization for training purposes.
Moreover, over 70% of the expect an increase in simulators and e-learning in the coming years. Almost 50% of the companies also anticipate increased mentoring and coaching to help support training.

It is interesting to note that an equal proportion of respondents (roughly 23%) plan to increase classroom teaching as well as decrease classroom teaching.
As far as simulator training is concerned, it is the standard when it comes to training bridge officers,
- Over 86% of companies use simulators to train them;
- 60% use simulators when it comes to training their engineering officers.
Finally, investment into simulation training is increasing. Of the companies that currently make use of simulation training, over 60% will increase the use of simulation for training officers in the next 5 years. None of them anticipates a decrease in use of simulation for officer training.
