Training for Operator, Staff and Craftsman
Swiftships’ training programs are customized to meet the specific needs of our clients, which we identify through systematic training needs analysis. Based on the requirements, we provide specialized training for operator and crew ranging from essential technical training about the vessels, to in-depth courses for vessels’ maintenance and operation. Swiftships’ training programs combine theoretical learning, hands-on practice, and the use of simulators. Training can be conducted in our shipyards and training facilities in the US, or at client’s location. Our proven methodology helps our clients to maximize fleet preparedness, maintain operational effectiveness and reduce vessels’ downtime – all leading to reduced operational costs and extended vessels’ service life.
We also provide specialized training packages for our co-production programs that range from craftsman to logistics and management training. Our training methodology for local build programs proved efficient in transferring the knowledge and skills required to locally construct quality vessels using Swiftships designs.
