Marlins delivered the 7th and 8th Marine Safety Workshops for US based Emerson Process Management. Held in Singapore, participants also came from Korea, China, Malaysia and Japan to attend the highly interactive training session.
One participant commented:
'I would like to express my appreciation re today’s training. It was very well structured, planned and executed. It was great to see the level of involvement for all the students throughout the session. There was a lot of valuable information which made experienced guys review our processes related to our own and our service engineers’ safety. I am confident that a similar course will be a good investment and beneficial for all our engineers.’

It is well known throughout the maritime industry that the United States Coast Guard ("USCG") has aggressively pursued a program of boarding and inspecting foreign flag-state vessels calling in U.S. ports for possible violations of MARPOL. This initiative has elicited heavy fines from owners and operators who have either plead guilty or who have been convicted of MARPOL violations.
Regulation 12 of MARPOL Annex I was revised by resolution MEPC.187(59), which entered into force on 1 January 2011. Make sure your crew know the changes with the updated Marlins Oily Water Separator CBT.
The UK Bribery Act 2010 came into force on 1st July 2011, with legislation that is tougher than anywhere else in the world.
To help companies comply with this legislation, Marlins has launched a new online E-learning course: Business Principles. This new course has been adopted by Lloyds Register to update its 6000 staff working in 260 offices worldwide about the implications of the newly implemented UK Bribery Act 2010. The course has also been adopted by V.Group for the training of 1,800 shore based staff at their 72 locations worldwide.
The Bribery Act has a global reach and if your company operates in the UK it will apply to all your staff worldwide.
The Act includes a specific corporate offence which requires companies to demonstrate that adequate procedures are in place to prevent or minimise the opportunities for bribery by employees and agents. Adequate procedures need to include company-wide training to demonstrate your company's anti-bribery policy.
Marlins recently launched two new CBTs: Secure Anchoring and Effective Inspection and Behavioural Safety.
Anchoring operations are one of the more frequent shipboard operations but still result in a significant number of incidents, many of which are avoidable.
Marlins Secure Anchoring and Effective Inspection course explains how to anchor effectively and safely, to prevent anchor loss.
