VIKING Saatsea Courses Get Flag Approval
VIKING Saatsea has achieved flag state approval for its STCW on-board training solution with refresher modules according to new STCW 2010 Manila Amendments. The approval of the company’s 24/7, customizable certification management training (CMT) solutions enables shipowners to keep crew certificates up to date while at sea, cutting the number of days needed for land-based training from as many as nine to just one – a major cost and logistics saving – and ensures instant, automatic certification the moment training has been completed. Beating other training and certification providers to the punch, VIKING Saatsea received approval from the Danish Maritime Association (DMA), paving the way to other flag-state approvals over the months to come.
