Seagull Uk News

Seagull AS, provider of computer based training (CBT) for seafarers, has introduced a new module that incorporates the regulatory changes made through the International Maritime Solid Bulk Cargoes (IMSBC) Code that became mandatory under the SOLAS Convention from January 1st, 2011. The new Code, which covers the loading, discharge and transportation by sea of dry bulk cargoes, replaces the Code of Safe Practice for Solid Bulk Cargoes (The BC Code), and has to be followed by all bulk carriers. Working closely with experts from South Tyneside College, Seagull has completely revised its previously BC Code-compliant training module in order to implement the necessary changes and bring it in line with the new IMSBC Code.
