STCW 95’s

Get some brass cajones and stand up for you BASIC working rights ESPECIALLY in the N. Sea sector… I mean WTF and PLEASE let it be known throughout the industry the way they tried to F _ _ k you over. It’s getting to a point where we don’t have a leg to stand on anymore be it in the N. Sea or Barmfarqed Eyejipt. In MHO, and sentiments, I feel sorry for you younger guys (a lot)….

Correct me if I am wrong but isn’t this another BOSIET course without HUET?

BOSIET/HUET appears to be acceptable in pretty much anywhere in the world to work offshore. I’ve worked for years offshore and have not ever needed anything else. Now they are suggesting what? That you need two survival tickets?

Does that mean that companies are expecting people to cough up for two courses that at the end of the day have the same means to an end?

STCW 95 qualifications are required by most professional seafarers, who must be trained in accordance with the STCW 95 convention. The Flying Fish STCW 95 Basic Safety Training course ensures you meet all its requirements.

There are four modules to the STCW 95 Basic Safety Training week:

1. STCW95 Elementary First Aid course – basic, immediate, and emergency response to the most common shipboard injury emergencies, including CPR.

2. STCW95 Personal Survival course – survival suits, hypothermia, liferafts, basic actions in emergency, etc.

3. STCW95 Elementary Fire Fighting and Fire Prevention course – types/classes of fires, prevention, hazard awareness, methods of fire extinguishment, structure of incident response team, appropriate equipment, personal safety, team support, and live exercises.

4. STCW95 Personal Safety & Social Responsibilities course – onboard emergencies, alarms and signals, initial actions, personal and protective safety equipment, pollution effects and pollution prevention, safe working practices, enclosed spaces, prevention of accidents, sexual harassment, individual rights, awareness of drug and alcohol issues, prevention of abuse.

I did a one day course at Warsash a few years ago it was

Given that this is an international website….. are you referring to:

Warsash Maritime Academy (formerly Warsash Maritime Centre)
A maritime training college and is part of Southampton Solent University?

Cheers :tup:

The course is for seafarers!

Does this mean that ROV is gradually becoming a marine trade and that ROV courses will be held at Marine colleges instead of ROV training schools?

A few thoughts on this (without first researching facts)
I’m also beginning to wonder of this is being driven by the offshore wind farm type vessels/operations? Whereby they are not operating in the oil and gas industry but are operating offshore but might need to prove to their clients that their workers meet the requirements of working on vessels offshore and meet international marine regulations.
Clients that work in the wind farm energy business may not have even heard of the O&G offshore survival or feel that it may not legally apply to their line of work.

In November, the prominent company that we were free-lancing for

‘Prominent company’ gives us nothing…. no company, no location…..

You are allowed to mention company names on here, that includes agencies, and should do so quite freely.
THe only thing I suggest is avoid mentioning employees of those organisations by name as they may not be members of this forum and unable to respond.

No disrespect to those that have been asked for an STCW, but without any specific companies being named and job types/locations being mentioned this is turning into more into a lot if guesswork and surmising rather than us knowing what is bringing this about and how to approach it. Hence us bounding ideas around.

In Australia, at least, both institutions that provide ROV courses are "Maritime Technical Colleges" both Fremantle TAFE and the Australian Maritime College in Launceston.

Personally I have had to undergo STCW95 training, in order to work offshore in Brazil. This was at least ten years ago and I already had a HUET/BOSIET. In my opinion at that time it was just another way to get some money into the local economy, the standard of training was quite laughable really…
