Up to 500,000 seafarers will require training over the next few years Hamburg-based online simulation training company Safebridge says that it has reached agreement with Raytheon Anschütz to offer online, type-specific ECDIS training based on Raytheon Anschütz's own software.Safebridge was created to meet the demand for ECDIS training contained in the new STCW 2012 and ISM Code regulations. According to Safebridge director Prof Capt Ralph Becker-Heins, it is estimated that up to 500,000 seafarers will require training over the next few years. More critically, around 75,000 seafarers require training in the short-term given that existing installations will become the prime navigation device and the first new build ships in the progressive phase-in period, cruise and other passenger vessels, are required to conform from July 2012.By signing co-operation agreements with manufacturers, to use their ECDIS software for simulation purposes, Safebridge claims to ensure that seafarers have access to training before joining ship and can easily re-train on the specific installed equipment.Source: The Motorship
