New 2020 HELMEPA Refresher Training Program
A new decade has begun with renewed hopes and aspirations for all of us. Global shipping enters the new era facing a complex, demanding regulatory framework in pursuit of the goal of “Safe, Secure and Efficient Ships on Clean Seas”.
To assist its Volunteer Members – Companies, Vessels and Seafarers – successfully meeting these challenges, HELMEPA is offering them a new Refresher Training Program for 2020.
As a certified “Maritime Training Center for Pollution Prevention, Safety at Sea and Environmental Awareness”, HELMEPA compiled this Program with the contribution of its Training Committee, taking into consideration the current training needs of Member Companies in combination with new regulations that come into effect or will enter into force in the near future.
The 38th Annual Voluntary Refresher Training Program has the following 7 different thematic categories of Seminars:
- Safety First
- Compliance with Air Emission and GHG Regulations
- Avoiding Pitfalls during PSC Inspections
- Marine Environmental Awareness
- Emergency Preparedness and Response
- TMSA Implementation and Preparation for Vetting Inspections
- Safe Carriage of Dangerous Solid Bulk Cargoes
We take this opportunity to express our deep appreciation and warm thanks to the specialized staff of 17 Member Companies and Organizations as well as officers of the Hellenic Coast Guard who are voluntary contributing as Instructors in the implementation of this year’s program, together with HELMEPA’s staff.
The Program is launched with the new two-day Seminar Safety First on
21 and 22 January. For all the relevant information, you may visit HELMEPA website (www.helmepa.gr) or download the 2020 Refresher Training Program Booklet.
