Latest additions to the Ocean Learning Library
Training library updates Q2 2023
As usual our Ocean Learning team have been keeping a close watch on Industry developments to identify new topics and ensuring existing titles on our library are up to date all with the aim of making sure your training needs are covered.
In the most recent update to the Ocean Learning Library, there is important new material mapped to Rightship requirements for HAZMAT (IMSBC) and Mental Health, new titles on medical first aid and medical care and comprehensive new course for LNG mapped to the SIGTTO competency guidelines.
This update also includes 32 new hospitality titles for our Cruise customers, the first collection to come from our partnership with Lobster Ink.
We have also issued new versions of 20 of our existing titles into our new micro-learning format and added Chinese language translations to our five SIRE training titles to provide learner support on this important subject.
This release also gives you new opportunities to gain certification for your crews remotely without the logistics and costs of arranging travel and hotels.
Help with Rightship Inspections

We have released major revisions to our HAZMAT (IMSBC) and Mental Health titles to support Rightship Requirements and help you demonstrate your commitment to excellence.
