Both courses must be individually refreshed every 5 years. The Medical First Aid training lasts two days, the Medical Care training three days. The Medical Care training DOES NOT cover the Medical First Aid training.<br \/>\nOfficers with limited certification can often suffice with the training of Medical First Aid. This will depend on the function and the trading area.<br \/>\nThe latest version of the \u201cGids uitvoering wet zeevarenden (nr. 3.3)\u201d provides further explanation of all training and can be downloaded from our website.<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.roodbovengroen.com\/website\/managedMedia\/mediaItem\/275.pdf<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>IMO circular about the definite introduction of STCW Manila Amendments<\/h2>\n<p>The IMO issued a circular in which Port State Surveyors and Class are advised to show lenience with any STCW documents (Certificate of Competence) which are not compliant yet during the 1st half of 2017.<\/p>\n<p>This is because not all the governments have fully implemented the STCW Manila Amendments as per 1-1-2017. Seafarers are advised to ensure, where appropriate, that all required training certificates are in order and to keep the IMO circular ready in case of an inspection.<br \/>\nThe IMO circular can be downloaded from our website:<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.roodbovengroen.com\/website\/managedMedia\/mediaItem\/328.pdf<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Non-ISPS statement<\/h2>\n<p>The new non-ISPS statement issued by ILT for the sailing fleet, valid until 1-1-2018, can be downloaded website: http:\/\/www.roodbovengroen.com\/website\/managedMedia\/mediaItem\/324.pdf<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Polar Code<\/h2>\n<p>As of 1-1-2017 the polar code came into force for ships in Polar Regions, including Greenland and Spitsbergen. The Polar Code applies to all ships with a Passenger Ship Safety Certificate or a Cargo Ship Safety Certificate, so generally ships of 500 GT or more and ships carrying more than 12 passengers.<br \/>\nThe Polar Code contains a number of requirements in terms of safety and prevention of pollution. These requirements are mainly reflected in the expansion of (safety) equipment, training of officers and construction requirements.<br \/>\nAn overview of the main items and the full text of the polar code can be downloaded from our website:<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.roodbovengroen.com\/website\/managedMedia\/mediaItem\/320.pdf<br \/>\nhttp:\/\/www.roodbovengroen.com\/website\/managedMedia\/mediaItem\/322.pdf<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Code of Safe Working Practices for Merchant Seafarers<\/h2>\n<p>There is a new version of the Code of Safe Working Practices.
