IMO: Revision of STCW Convention and Training Guidelines
HTW11 kicks off in London
Last Monday at the
Revision of STCW Convention
The working group on the revision of the IMO
Tjitso Westra of the KVNR participated in this working group on behalf of ICS.

Development of interim training guidelines
Another working group has begun developing interim training guidelines. These will focus on training seafarers working with alternative fuels and new technologies. The demand within the industry for these guidelines is increasing. Therefore, it is crucial to accelerate this process and separate it from the broader STCW review.
Noa Vork of the KVNR participated in the discussions in this working group at the invitation of the Dutch government.
Validation of Model Courses
A third working group was involved in the validation of several Model Courses including:
GMDSS
Company Security Officer
Port Facility Security Officer
These Model Courses serve as guidance for the development of STCW training courses, but are not mandatory.
