Fast rescue craft training
The arrival of two new emergency Fast Rescue Craft on 22nd June at Stonehaven Harbour, Scotland, signals the imminent restart of a wide range of Maersk Training programmes at the newly opened Maritime Training Academy, which is owned by their Aberdeen-based partners, Survival Craft Inspectorate (SCI).
The two companies have entered into a ten year agreement, aimed at establishing the facility as a world-leader in the training of Boatmen and Coxswains in the use of Fast Rescue Craft.
This is a significant investment by Maersk Training, coupled with the investment made in the recruitment of additional instructors for the facility. An Open Day to showcase the Academy and to learn more about the courses on offer will be held on August 27th.
MD Stuart Cameron said: “Companies in the oil and gas sector can be assured the Academy offers first rate training facilities and, more critically, that the challenging waters of the North Sea around the Stonehaven coastline – with its coves and inlets – provides the sternest test of any facility in the UK for fast rescue training.”
