Revolutionizing Maritime Education for Seafarers through E-Learning Platform

The ICS Academy, envisioned by the International Chamber of Shipping, aims to revolutionize maritime education by providing a platform that leverages the expertise of over 80% of the global shipping fleet. Designed for seafarers by seafarers, it delivers practical e-learning directly addressing best practices and regulatory compliance. This globally applicable platform integrates seamlessly with ICS Publications, ensuring crew members can access essential training and onboard procedures cohesive with their daily operations.

A standout feature of the Academy is its mobile app, which facilitates offline learning, allowing seafarers to download content and complete courses anywhere, enhancing accessibility. The program includes diverse offerings, like the innovative ‘Operating the Engine Under Low Loads’ course, featuring a 3D engine simulation for safe virtual inspections—addressing the complexities of operating under low-load conditions.

Quality assurance is emphasized, with every module undergoing rigorous testing by subject matter experts, ensuring it meets and exceeds industry standards. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the maritime industry’s shift to digital learning solutions has accelerated, validating the Academy’s focus on practical, accessible training tailored to crew needs. Ultimately, the ICS Academy bridges traditional maritime knowledge with the digital future of seafarer education.
