As Members will know from Club circulars, the Managers have for many years co-operated with Videotel Marine International Limited in the production of video and computer based training programmes. The first title, a three part series on Bridge Procedures, was published in early 1994. Since then, over 50 further programmes have been produced. These programmes are produced with the support of The Ship Safety Trust (SST). The SST was established by the Clubs Managers to support loss prevention and safety initiatives, and through this means, to make high quality safety and training materials available to the Clubs Members. Through the involvement of the SST, these materials are produced without cost to the Club
Each video is produced under the supervision of a steering group. The Managers London Representatives participate fully in the steering group discussions, together with others from the shipping industry and organizations relevant to the subject matter of the programme, and are able to contribute important claims related experience to the production. The individual videos eventually form part of the training libraries on board the vessels of Videotel's subscribing clients. These training libraries typically comprise 20 videos which are selected according to the particular training needs of the shipowner concerned. These libraries form the basis of a high quality, structured training programme on board each vessel in an owner's fleet, which is increasingly being recognised by Port State Control Inspectors as evidence of an organised approach to on-board training.
Members who may wish to hire or purchase any of the videos are entitled to concessionary rates as indicated in the Association's circulars. Further details concerning pricing and how to place orders can be obtained from:-
