As part of the 40D review, it is proposed to create a training course on vessel stability. The course being developed will be such that it can be presented to not only the fishing industry, but also to masters of non-passenger and passenger vessels.

MNZ is proposing to utilise a course developed by SNMAE (Society of Naval Architects and marine Engineers) called Fishing Vessel Stability Training Course. The course teaches, over the space of 1-2 hours, the basics of stability, from which many scenarios can be discussed.
