Bibby Ship Management Passes Training Milestone
The company opened the Sir Derek Bibby maritime training centre in April 2006 in response to a lack of this type of training facility in India.
Offering DP, GMDSS and welding training to seafarers, the centre has now seen 1, 112 mariners through its doors for its DP courses.
Conducted over five days, the DP courses are accredited by the UK’s Nautical Institute and delivered using state of the art Kongsberg and Alstom simulators.
Instructors at the centre have more than 50 years of experience collectively in offshore operations and hold the rank of either DP Master or Chief Officer.
Prakash Agarwal, Managing Director of Bibby Ship Management (India) said “We have seen really strong demand from the very beginning from seafarers keen to invest in their own professional development and skills.”
