Basic Training For Service Onboard Ships Subject To The IGF Code

THE OBJECTIVES OF:

This course aims to help seafarers meet the Regulation V/3 of the STCW Convention, which specifies the mandatory minimum requirements for the training and qualifications of officers, ratings, and other personnel on ships subject to the IGF Code.

By completing this course, seafarers ensure compliance with Regulation V/3 of the STCW Convention, which outlines the mandatory training and qualification standards for those operating on ships using the IGF Code.
