NAPA, a global provider of maritime software and data services, has partnered with Maritime Skill Academy to offer advanced stability training for seafarers and ship operators. The goal of this partnership is to make critical safety training more accessible and convenient, increasing the number of seafarers receiving such training. The course will cover topics such as stability challenges, using the NAPA software for vessel stability, and complying with IMO guidelines. Experienced instructors will provide hands-on training using the latest NAPA Stability Management Computer.
The training aims to equip seafarers with the skills needed to navigate real-world scenarios, optimize ballast, and make informed decisions in emergencies and unexpected weather changes. It will cover various aspects of ship stability management, including basic principles, operations at port and sea, intact and damage condition stability, and probabilistic damage stability calculations. By integrating NAPA software into the curriculum, participants will gain a deeper understanding of vessel stability, enhancing maritime safety.
This collaboration between NAPA and Maritime Skill Academy is a significant milestone in the maritime industry’s efforts to adapt to technological advancements and create a safer and more efficient environment. As sustainable and smarter shipping requires the adoption of new technologies, it is crucial for professionals to have access to training that keeps up with the evolving technical landscape. By combining eLearning and classroom training, this partnership aims to ensure that seafarers are prepared for the challenges of tomorrow and maintain the highest safety and sustainability standards.
