Unlike classroom-based training, onboard training occurs in the actual work setting, using the ship’s equipment, layouts, and operational routines. This contextual learning enhances memory retention and gives crew members the advantage of immediate application. Shore-based training is often theoretical, whereas onboard training focuses on situational awareness, practical execution, and risk mitigation in real-time.

Typical modules include:

• Personal Safety and Social Responsibilities

• Bridge Resource Management

• Emergency Procedures and Firefighting

• Machinery and Engine Room Familiarisation

• Pollution Prevention Measures

• Cargo Handling and Stability Awareness

• Lifeboat Drills and Abandon Ship Procedures

• Communication Protocols

• Mooring Safety and Line Handling

• Maintenance Practices and Defect Reporting

All topics are aligned with STCW and ISM Code requirements.

These trainers not only understand the technical aspects but are also adept at crew management and instructional delivery.

Onboard training ensures that crew members are aware of and can implement international conventions such as SOLAS, MARPOL, STCW, and ISM Codes. This practical knowledge improves audit and inspection performance and aligns daily operations with evolving safety and environmental requirements. Additionally, documented onboard training is a strong compliance indicator during inspections by flag states, port states, and vetting bodies.
