What we offer
Survitec has consolidated a complete portfolio of specialised training programmes to support the critical safety and survival equipment systems for cruise operators and their crew. Survitec’s one of a kind, bespoke training solutions are designed to think beyond compliance, whilst keeping the ‘human element’ in mind.
Our training covers the following categories:
- Firefighting Equipment (FFE)
- Lifesaving Appliances (LSA)
- Marine Evacuation Systems (MES)
The typical cost of being held by port state control for non-compliance ranges in the tens of thousands to million-dollar range, which is why our bespoke training solutions are geared towards preventing these costly, and often unnecessary, time-delaying incidents.
Our FFE, LSA, and MES training solutions cover the core areas of daily cruise vessel operations, and are delivered by market leading, approved providers; many of whom are former regulators. We focus on creating a class culture that promotes staff engagement in risk mitigation. Additionally, we aim to educate crew on what to look for to ensure constant readiness for port state control inspection. Our overall focus is to help vessels improve operational efficiencies, reduce down time, and increase operational yield per passenger on board.
