STCW & MLC training course for crewing professionals

General information

Rood Boven Groen regularly picks up crewing professionals who are at the point of drowning in the sea of papers that are called STCW & MLC. The STCW – MLC training is developed for crewing professionals to help them navigate over that sea. STCW Code requirements do differ per vessel type, size, and purpose. As a crewing department at a shipping company, it is therefore crucial to know if the seafarers are properly certified. The STCW & MLC training provides an introduction to the Maritime Regulatory Framework (SOLAS, MARPOL, STCW, MLC) and applying STCW & MLC to vessels flying the Dutch flag. Participants gain insight into the practical requirements arising from Dutch legislation and the assessment of relevant documentation (such as training certificates and contracts).

The training takes 1 day, with 1 half-day (4 hours) dedicated to STCW and 1 half-day to MLC. The training consists of presentations, exercises, and time for questions. The training materials are in English. The trainers will conduct the training in Dutch, unless speaking English is preferred.
