Maritime training that delivers the results you need
Compliance with international codes encourages the establishment of processes to ensure continual improvement. It leads to confidence on the part of all those involved in the management of the vessel that its ships comply with requirements.
Many organizations are advised by trainers and consultants to implement controls to ensure compliance without regard for process and system management. At both FQC and QMII, our system professionals help our students ensure their systems are helping continually improve their organizations while also ensuring compliance.
In the maritime industry, managing ship and shore operations can pose complexities not seen by other industries. Our over 30 years’ experience helping companies focus on process and system management is the basis for our unique and recognized maritime training.
As part of our maritime services we also offer and facilitate:
- Annual Security Exercises for ISPS A/13.1 & B/13.7
- Safety and Security for Top Management and Vessel Command Teams
- Emergency Response for Vessel Command Teams and Company Emergency Response Teams.
