This week our Tug masters have been undergoing their Seaways training here at CentrePort Ltd , they do this annually to keep their experience and knowledge relevant. I got to shadow our Tug Master, Luke, during his transitions training SeaWays Global’s intent when training tug masters is to always ensure that each master when embarking on their first solo operation is able to competently handle a tug for the operations they are accredited for under all circumstances that might be reasonably encountered, and with sufficient insight to overcome unplanned events, such as might occur during bad weather or as a result of equipment failure. This requires sufficient training on control systems with which to embed automatic reactions to events. These instinctive sub-conscious reactions must be not only automatic but also correct, to ensure reactions are both timely and safe without overloading the tugmasters mental capabilities. The high standard of instinctive operational competency achieved by SeaWays’ is aimed at enabling the trainee tugmaster to focus on the situation at hand, rather than to have to consciously focus too much on how to drive the tug. Thanks SeaWays Global for keeping our tug masters competent at all times! #seaways #shippingindustry #traininganddevelopment #maritimeindustry
