Videotel passes the 12,000 vessel mark

Nov 13 2015


E-Learning training and software house Videotel, a subsidiary of KVH Industries, claimed this week that its training solutions are now in use on more than 12,000 vessels worldwide.

More than 300 new vessels have joined in the third quarter of 2015 alone, the company said.

Another milestone reached by the training-program producer was that the company recorded more than 10 mill training events in recent years.

“We are truly pleased that our company is continuing to grow despite very tough market conditions out there today,” said Nigel Cleave, Videotel CEO. “It once again reaffirms that by producing quality products that meet the training needs of the maritime market, responsible shipowners and shipmanagement companies will invest in their staff to ensure they are properly trained to carry out their duties safely.”

Videotel’s success over the years is due in part to its efforts to continually expand its delivery methods to meet the needs of the maritime industry. For example, Videotel’s basic training package of 20 essential maritime training programs is now available with KVH’s IP-MobileCast content delivery service.

Videotel also recently launched the new print edition of its training catalogue, ‘STCW Maritime Training Catalogue 2015-2017’, detailing the complete Videotel selection of 950 new and updated titles available in a range of formats.

Videotel’s computer-based training (CBT) programmes are included, an area that boasts 500 plus e-Learning courses, more than twice the number of CBTs offered by competitors. Also launched at the same time was the latest Videotel on Demand (VOD) release, which includes a total of 59 e-Learning courses – 37 new, 22 updated – to meet current seafarer training needs.
