BWTS Onboard & Online Crew Training

At Mr Marine, we understand the importance of proper crew training in ensuring that ships’ ballast water treatment systems remain compliant with international regulations. That’s why we offer our customers a comprehensive range of crew training services, tailored to the specific equipment and requirements of each vessel. Our training program combines both online and onboard training, allowing us to assist your crew in understanding the importance of safety and record keeping, as well as the proper maintenance and operation of the ballast water treatment system.

As per the International Convention for the Control and Management of Ships’ Ballast Water and Sediments (BWM Convention), ships are required to carry and implement a Ballast Water Management Plan that has been approved by the Administration. This plan must include details of the safety procedures for the ship and crew and provide a detailed description of the actions to be taken to implement the ballast water management requirements. Our training program focuses on familiarizing your crew with the BWM Convention and your ship’s specific ballast water management plan, making sure that they understand the importance of safety and record keeping.

We understand the importance of continuity and it is of no use to produce a plan and expect crews to give a complete handover every time there is a crew change. That’s why, we offer custom training packages for initial basic operational training and general maintenance training, which focuses on providing your crew with the necessary knowledge and skills to operate and maintain the equipment effectively and safely. Our trainers use a combination of manufacturer’s operational manuals and good practice practical training, guiding your crew to work efficiently and safely.

By providing your crew with the necessary knowledge and skills, you can be confident that your ship will remain compliant with international regulations and that the BWTS will operate effectively and efficiently.

We would be happy to discuss your specific needs and tailor a training program that meets the unique requirements of your vessel.
