The technical collaboration of ‘CREWimpact’ crewing solution is now integrated with Seagull Training Administrator (STA) and enables the automatic exchange of information between the two systems.
In practical terms, this means that users can maintain their information in CREWimpact, which will then automatically synchronise all updates from STA, Seagull explained.
The main benefits are the reduction of the administration time and the potential for human error. Also, this allows crew members to gain better control over the results of online and offline courses per seafarer rank. All training records and updates follow the seafarer wherever he/she is.
Vroon, has signed up to both CREWimpact and STA systems, benefiting from their integration. The new integrated and unified process further improves the group’s training plan for all seafarers. It also supports and enhances the company’s safety culture, enriches safety awareness amongst crew and shore base staff, and helps reduce the number of accidents on-board.
Diederic van Keulen, Vroon’s head of crewing, commented: “The internal stakeholders benefit of the integration between CREWimpact and Seagull. This is reflected in easy access to CBT on board and easy monitoring by the Master and crewing team of the seafarer’ training programme in STA. The CBT programme is controlled centrally so adjustments to the training programme are quickly done and immediately available on board. STA meets the company requirements, as well as TMSA and OVMSA requirements.”
