Cybersecurity has a huge potential to affect the safety of the crew, vessel, cargo and even ports. Cybersecurity is concerned with the protection of IT systems, onboard hardware and sensors and data leak from unauthorised access, manipulation and disruption. Cybersecurity policies and plans cover different types of risks like information integrity, system and hardware availability on board and in the office of the shipping company. Accordingly, Cybersecurity should be seen at all levels of the company, from top management onshore to onboard personnel, as an integral part of the safety culture required for the safe and efficient operation of a ship.

We attended the Career Day event that took place at the Maritime Faculty hall on April 18 in Split .

The goal of this event was to enable direct communication for students (nautical, marine engineering, electrical engineering and information technologies, maritime management and maritime technologies of yachts and marinas) with potential future employers.

The employers had the opportunity to briefly present the company’s profile, to describe the possible to the students future careers in the industry, but also to find potential talents for work.

We are always going further to provide the best training to our attendants. One of the newest highlights in long list of simulators is Dual Fuel Engine Simulator, which arrival we are eager to await, as it is one of the most modern simulators in training for seafarer.

Simulator presents a real-time capable simulation model for dual fuel operated engines. The computational performance is reached by an optimized filling and emptying modeling approach applying tailored models for in-cylinder combustion and species transport in the gas path. The highly complex process will take the   place combining Diesel and Otto burning process.

This training course will be supervised with highly experienced and educated instructors.

The International Federation of Transport Workers (ITF) has published on its website the advice of the World Health Organization for the protection of Corona Virus:

Advice for the maritime industry, seafarers and dock workers

Do not restrict embarkation/disembarkation of seafarers in non-affected ports

Do not restrict necessary ship visits by port agents, chaplains, service personnel and others.

Do not visit food markets in China and avoid provision of fish and poultry in China.

Do not consume raw eggs, milk, meat.

Observe strict food hygiene to avoid cross contamination

Ensure facial protection is provided for all crew (5 pieces /per person)

Provide influenza vaccination, alcohol-based hand sanitiser and facial protection for ship inspectors and other crew who travel to China.

If a crew member on board falls sick and has been travelling to affected areas 2-12 days before embarkation, the person must stay in his/her cabin.

If a crew member is sick on board a ship, fill out the maritime declaration of health and notify the relevant port authority and consult a healthcare provider in the next port.

Advice for crew members:

Encourage all onboard to practice hand and respiratory hygiene especially when coughing or sneezing.

Crew should use hand sanitizer/wash hands following contact with any passenger or other crew.

If on a layover in a country with a known coronavirus outbreak, crew are advised to remain in hotel accommodation as much as possible and practice hand and respiratory hygiene and safe food practices (see more below).
