With electrical systems playing a greater role onboard, ABB is seeing a strong demand from the maritime sector to ensure the skills of crew members remain up-to-date.
"The Marine Academy is a vital link between ABB and the maritime industry," said Klaus Moldskred, Sales & Marketing Manager, ABB Marine Academy. "Our commitment to improving safety onboard does not stop with our equipment or service agreements; proper training of the crew is also vital."
A study by DNV GL indicates that up to 90% of accident at sea are caused by human error and ABB's courses are aimed at addressing this problem.
"We are delighted our Marine Academy has been recognized by DNV GL as a provider of high quality maritime education. ABB is not just a provider of electrical systems; we also prioritize the training of the crew who use our equipment," said Moldskred.
The Marine Academy has centers in Singapore, Rotterdam, Ulsteinvik, Genoa, Helsinki and Houston
