PC Maritime forms partnership with ECDIS Ltd to
provide "portable" MCA-approved ECDIS training
PC Maritime has formed a partnership with specialist
training company ECDIS Ltd in order to provide its customers with approved
generic ECDIS training at a location of their choice.
Marketing director Anne Edmonds said: "For many of our
customers, getting their navigating officers to colleges for the generic ECDIS
training is a major logistical problem, as well as a significant expense. ECDIS
Ltd, on the other hand, takes the training to the customer. We think this is a
convenient and less expensive solution which will help our customers achieve
the required training for their officers in time for the introduction of
mandatory ECDIS."
Malcolm Instone, operations director of ECDIS Ltd,
added: "We are delighted to be able to offer our Flag State approved ECDIS
training to PC Maritime customers. PC Maritime is a well-respected ECDIS
manufacturer with a clear focus on providing its customers with good service.
Our equipment is fully portable so we can conduct training in a location that
suits the customer, even onboard if the facilities can support it."
ECDIS Ltd was formed in 2007 to provide training,
consultation and all accreditation solutions in the electronic charting era.
The company employs a team of highly qualified and experienced navigators,
master mariners or equivalent, who have between them taught and accredited over
1000 mariners.
