a better learning experience

offshore maritime trainingWhen safety is priority number one

An accident – an unplanned event causing damage or injury

Safety – freedom from risk or danger

Maersk Training Offshore focuses on three industries:

the maritime, oil & gas and wind industries. Here, the

price to pay is high for ignoring and neglecting safety.

That price is too often calculated after personal tragedy

or financial disaster.

A BROAD RANGE OF COURSES - FOCUSING ON REALISTIC TRAINING

Our range of courses covers all aspects of safety, from the

techniques for survival to avoiding accidents through

correct working practices. We use a training environment

as close to real life as possible and our simulators are

second-to-none. We match the course to the customer’s

needs and we match the course to the best techniques to

improve personal and corporate safety.

QUALIFIED INSTRUCTORS

WITH PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE

A team of specialist instructors heads our training. All our

instructors have experience from working offshore. They

are dedicated to improve safety, and they are highly moti-

vated to deliver a better learning experience. Instructor

expertise and industry leading facilities combined not

only for training; they are frequently sought after to help

develop new equipment and test working practices.

WE MEASURE KNOWLEDGE

At Maersk Training we evaluate every course and we

measure the results of the learning. Our tools and

methods maximize the learning process for each

participant in order to achieve the best possible results.

At the same time, we keep an eye on every development in

the maritime, oil & gas and wind industries. Therefore our

courses are always updated and we contribute to raising

global standards.

TAILOR-MADE SAFETY TRAINING

We not only keep updating our courses, we also adapt

them to special working situations and environments.

We tailor-make courses so clients and their workforce

get the most out of the learning experience.

WE HAVE GLOBAL TRAINING CENTRES - AND WE TRAVEL TO TRAIN

We have training centres in Newcastle, England, in

Aberdeen, Scotland and in Stavanger, Norway, and we

have regional centres in Nigeria, Brazil and India. We also

have top-class facilities in the Middle East and Singapore,

and a new complex in Esbjerg, Denmark. In short, we are

global, with headquarters in Svendborg, Denmark.

Training is not confined to our own centres. Our

instructors have conducted courses on virtually every

ocean and in every corner of the world. Wherever and

whenever we see delivering the learning as our main

priority.

CERTIFIED TRAINING

Most of our courses have international certification.

Organizations such as the Danish Maritime Authority, the

Nautical Institute, STCW, IWCF, IDDC, OPITO are amongst

many to have certified our courses. We are also proud to

be the first training centre in the world to receive a

Certificate of Excellence by Det Norske Veritas. DNV is

based in Norway, but is an independent foundation with

an international brief to evaluate risk and systems.

safety is our priority

We aim for a working environment without accidents. At Maersk Training we deliver the message of safety, and we use many different training techniques, facilities built for the purpose and advanced technology.

anchor handling

Anchor handling is a demanding task that requires

experienced and highly trained personnel. Even the

smallest mistake during an anchor handling operation

can cause injury or death or result in expensive

equipment being lost or damaged. Beyond the human

aspect such incidents are very costly in terms of

downtime for repair or re-equipment, for immediate

potential loss of business and the prolonged adverse

effect on company reputation.

Proper training is a vital part in achieving success in

critical and demanding anchor handling operations.

Training stretches from basic safety during anchor

handling and best practices to simulator training in

special operations under various weather conditions.

The simulator training involves; PCP operations, setting

and recovering various anchor types including pre-laid

systems, handling of winches and wires. In order to

prepare crews and to test various contingency scenarios

as well as improving communication between all parties

involved, specific operations can be simulated before

being executed.

At Maersk Training we have been conducting anchor

handling courses using state-of-the-art simulators for

more than a decade. Training is drawn from the vast ex-

perience gained through our close cooperation with

our customers and the operational experience of our

instructors who have all worked as officers on supply

vessels in some of the most demanding conditions around

the world.
