Videotel, a KVH company, has developed a training course designed to guide maritime personnel in addressing one of the industry’s most important issues: energy management. Experts agree that effective energy management is not just good business practice but also demonstrates a company’s commitment to help reduce its carbon footprint and world energy use.
Called “ISO 50001 Energy Management Training Course,” the Videotel program is designed to help organisations achieve effective energy management by setting out a sequence of procedures and systems for them to implement. Gaining ISO 50001 gives a company a competitive edge through improved environmental performance and productivity and reduced fuel costs. It also helps to minimise risk and increase energy security.
“This is an excellent programme for ship owners and ship managers who want to review their energy performance,” says Nigel Cleave, CEO of Videotel. “Whilst ships are considered to be the most fuel-efficient way of transporting cargo, there are still areas where improvements can be made. By following our course, shipping personnel will learn how to successfully implement an energy management programme that will not only help to reduce their company’s operating costs but will also result in a better environment.”
The Videotel course includes seven modules aimed at officers, crew, and shore-based staff, and presents the information by depicting how a fictitious shipping company is going about establishing and implementing an energy management system (EnMS) in line with ISO 50001.
This approach is important as it is vital that the learner can relate to the issues that may arise in a similar type of business. The course also includes shipping-industry-specific measures relating to energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions, such as MARPOL’s progressively tighter fuel and emission controls in Emission Control Areas, a major compliance issue for maritime operators.
Videotel’s “ISO 50001 Energy Management Training Course” is delivered using interactive e-Learning Computer Based Training (CBT), allowing learners to follow easy on-screen instructions. This approach will help shipping personnel implement the standard far more easily as they will have gone through relevant scenarios specific to a shipping company.
