Resolve Maritime Academy has joined the Transas Global ECDIS Training Network, known as Get-Net.

The Academy recently expanded its Fort Lauderdale, Florida training facilities, adding a second ECDIS classroom with Transas simulation software and Transas ECDIS to meet the high demand for Generic and Type-Specific ECDIS training.
 
The training partnership with Transas allows Resolve Maritime Academy to comply with all Flag State, Port State Control and Classification Society requirements and to better serve its global client base, in time for the new ECDIS training requirement deadlines.
 
ECDIS systems come in varying degrees of complexity and it is vital that mariners understand the proper use and particular functions of their own onboard systems . ECDIS training is now mandatory for all officers serving aboard ships fitted with ECDIS.
 
Resolve Maritime Academy, LLC is a wholly owned subsidiary of RESOLVE Marine Group, Inc.  Located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, the Academy offers simulation-based training for the maritime industry utilizing state-of-the-art Transas Simulation software in six bridge simulators, including one full mission bridge with a connected bridge wing, four mini bridges and two ECDIS classrooms.
