OUR OFFERING AND CORE COMPETENCE

We provide a diversified training portfolio

We have a long history of cooperation with different authorities, e.g., the Finnish Coast Guard. Our courses are audited by the Finnish Transport and Communications Agency, Traficom. We provide a diversified training portfolio, including basic and advanced ice navigation training in accordance with the Polar Code, as well as ice navigation training including ship handling in ice. Another frequently booked training program is Aboa Mare’s IGF Code training program. The program consists of a basic & advanced IGF Code 5-day course (includes 1 day of practical IGF firefighting). Additionally, we offer an IGF Simulator – 5-day course. The IGF simulator course covers the required sea experience for an Advanced IGF CoP and 2 out of 3 required bunkerings.

OUR VALUE PROPOSITION

By choosing Aboa Mare, you:

• can receive tailor-made training at Aboa Mare. The fact that e.g. newbuild bunkering checklists can be used during our IGF training program is highly appreciated.

• can receive help with applications for Finnish CoP:s from Aboa Mare, which helps the shipping companies to save time and money.

• receive training from a training center where the instructors cooperate with personnel from tech companies and therefore receive the newest information on the market.

The training can be conducted with the bridge equipment used on board (we have Wärtsilä, Sperry, Furuno, Transas and Consilium ship bridge simulators).
