Maritime Training :

During our role as incident investigator we realized and concluded that the incident could have been avoided if the crew had been a little more vigilant and used their knowledge just in time.
In most cases, we found that the Company had provided all the “necessary” training to the crew and more surprisingly, the crew involved in the incident/accident were well aware of the theories delivered in the training sessions and had substantial knowledge and experience.

We realised that the vast majority of training initiatives, technology-based or traditional classroom, are boring, or ineffective – usually both.

The subjects covered during the training sessions are rarely critical to the success. Training subjects were often delivered in isolation whereas while performing duties onboard several jobs may run simultaneously.

We distinguish ourselves by taking an “out of the box” approach towards training. Unlike existing training models where the topics are covered in isolation, we provide a flexible training model where the learnings are not walled within the peripheries of a topic.

Our training sessions are informal, highly interactive, energetic and fun.

We believe in creating an atmosphere in the training room where the instructor does not suggest to participant about “rights” and “wrongs” but in creating an environment where he participants analyse all the facts presented to him and judge what is “right” or “wrong”.

Hold / Hatch Inspection :

The ingress of a small amount of seawater into the cargo hold does not usually represent any risk to the safety of the ship, but even small amounts of water may do extensive damage to cargoes that are sensitive to seawater, e.g. grain, fertilizer, steel and paper cargoes.

Ensuring a ship’s hatch covers are weathertight is an essential aspect of exercising due diligence to make a ship cargoworthy requires an appropriate method of testing to enable any potential problems or defects to be identified and resolved.

We carry out thorough hold inspection to verify that the ship’s hold is ready to receive the nominated cargo. Our hold inspections consider several factors that may affect the quality of nominated cargo. Our capable and experienced inspectors:

• Ensure that the hold is free of rust or paint chips that could contaminate or discolour the nominated cargo
• Provide assurance that the hold is free of previous cargo remnants
• Ensure that the holds are free from residues of previous cargo, dunnage, rust scales or loose paint
• Check for any signs of moisture or previous water damage in the hold or bilge.

Water ingress through leaking hatch covers is main cause of damage to cargo. It is in the interest of ship owners, managers and insurers to guarantee the cargo hold is weathertight.

We have experienced staff and state of the art equipment for carrying out tests to ensure weathertightness of hatch covers ranging from visual inspections, hose test and ultrasonic testing.
