WHY REVISIONWHY REVISION

Casualties / Human factor

Lack of competence

Changes in crew supply

Varying education and training systems

Insufficient backing for the authorities’ implementation

Not up to date

(The International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, adopted in 1978)

New STCWNew STCW-- whatwhat has has changedchanged??

Structured, more precise and up to date

Strong control measures

Focus on ”new” training methods, i.e. simulator training and eLearning
