Anglo-Eastern Ship Management’s Mumbai Training Centre staff have development an STCW 2010 compliant on board training programmed for deck cadets in collaboration with Global Maritime Education & Training (GlobalMET) Association.
The director of the Anglo-Eastern Maritime Training Centre, Kersi Deboo told, that his team had been working to complete the project following the Manila Conference in June 2010 to update the Convention on Standards of Training Certification and Watch-keeping (STCW) GlobalMET has published the Deck Structured Shipboard Training Programme (SSTP) Record Book and associate Activity Book, together with supplements for oil, chemical and gas tankers. The publications were completed in time for the 42nd meeting of the IMO Sub Committee on Standards of Training and Watch-keeping (STW).
This initiative means there are now two rather different approaches potentially available for organizing and recording at sea training. The International Shipping Federation (ISF) has long published record book for deck and engineering cadets. These books do have a small number of projects to be completed, but are not meant to be comprehensive training programmes. An ISF spokesperson told that, in line with STCW 2010, the employers’ organization is updating and extending its record book range. It is adding books for ratings for the first time. These are required by STCW for training leading to the new. Able seafarer Deck an Able Seafarer Engine Room qualifications and should be published soon. In addition, revised deck and engineer cadet record books are due for publication later this year.
Deboo told that the GlobalMET training programme had been well received by ship ping administrations and that it was hoped approval would be forthcoming from flag states for the use of the programme and the record books worldwide.
GlobalMET executive secretary Rod Short said technological developments were having a major impact on the operation of ships and seafaring in general “More training needs to be done at sea, but there is a serious lack of trainee berths and of an overall system for provision of effective on-board training and assessment” he said. Short added that the programme had been devised to offer properly structured, managed and delivered training and assessment at sea. Work on similar publications for engineering trainees is said to be at an advanced stage.
“As a GlobalMET production that complies with STCW 2010 requirements, the SSTP has the potential for global validity and to strengthen industry involvement in training at sea, with the potential for savings on the costs of long periods on campus” Short said.
By contract, the ISF record books are intended merely to comply with STCW requirements, not to provide a comprehensive training programme.
GlobalMET’s SSTP is intended to be suitable for use by shipboard personnel, by the employers of the seagoing trainees and also by academies as extensions of their on campus studies. It can also be adjusted to cater for differing periods of sea service. According to Short, with the development of delivery technologies and distance education methodologies, these is potential to assist the blending of onboard maritime education and training with on-campus studies and studies when on leave.
