Ocean Technologies Group (OTG) has partnered with KeelX Education to reduce the risks posed to life and the environment by the improper handling or transportation of dry bulk cargoes.
In particular, through this partnership, Ocean Technologies Group (OTG) customers will be able to utilise Series One of the KeelX “Safe Handling and Transportation of Dry Bulk Cargoes” e-learning through the Ocean Learning Platform (OLP).
These titles will provide ship owners with a valuable resource to bolster their crews’ existing knowledge while aboard or ashore, as part of ongoing training or even as part of pre-boarding processes, helping reduce risks to safety and to mitigate against possible claims.
As informed, the first modules to be added to the Ocean Learning Platform cover the safe handling and transportation of coal, cement, and soybeans. The series will soon be further enhanced with the addition of two new titles from KeelX that focus on nickel ore and steel coils.
We strive to develop our e-courses every day, ensuring our material is constantly up-to-date with new material, including relevant industry developments, new real case scenarios, and additional training information. The Series One titles will provide learners with the relevant knowledge to mitigate and avoid possible claims, incidents, and off-hire, but primarily to safeguard human life on board.
…said Evros Damianou, KeelX Education Program Lead.
KeelX invests heavily in its research, putting significant effort into data analysis, international codes, regulations, treaties, and operational incidents. The Safe Handling and Transportation of Dry Bulk Cargoes titles are a perfect example of how KeelX uses the lessons learned from real-world incidents to create high-quality e-learning resources.
..said Henning Davies, Global Commercial Director for Ocean Technologies Group.
