Navigating Officers serving onboard our fleet are programmed for simulator based Bridge Team Management courses in Singapore Polytechnic or Star Cruises Malaysia. This has been ongoing since 2002. However, the numbers of training berths made available to us are limited. Our Management has made a decision last year to acquire our own simulators and the national maritime academy – Malaysian Maritime Academy – would conduct the courses. This involves financial expenditure of a few million dollars but we are confident that the benefits resultant would be realised onboard all out 160 vessels that we currently own.
We are sharing information with all our vessels on major incidents with a primary objective of avoiding recurrence. We carry out this task by issuing a safety memorandum and dissemination it to them. Safety memorandum forms a part of the Corporation's safety management manual system. A Safety Memorandum issued on 11 March 2004 is attached for you attention.
