Posted: December 14, 2015

 

On Thursday December 17th at 12.00 – 12.40 Rear Admiral Nick Lambert (Ret) will give a lecture in the NMCI Auditorium on the role of the Royal Navy ship HMS Endurance in the Antarctic. It should be a really good lecture and it is open to everyone so please spread the word.

 

Rear Admiral Nick Lambert

 Nick joined the Royal Navy as a seaman in March 1977. He gained an honours degree in Geography at the University of Durham in 1983.

He has spent much time at sea on HM Ships including Birmingham, Ark Royal, Cardiff and has commanded HMS Brazen and HMS Endurance.

He commanded the ice patrol ship HMS ENDURANCE from 2005-2007, deploying for two fascinating and deeply rewarding seasons in Antarctica. Promoted in February 2007, he commanded Task Force 158 in the North Arabian Gulf, tasked with the protection of Iraq’s economically vital offshore oil infrastructure. Thereafter he was Deputy Flag Officer Sea Training from 2008 to 2009 before assuming the role of Assistant Chief of Staff Operations and Capability Integration in November 2009 in the Navy Command Headquarters. Promoted to Rear Admiral, he became the UK National Hydrographer on 19 August 2010.

Still unsure about what STCW Refresher Training Means for you?

Posted: December 10, 2015

MCA approved STCW Refresher Training


Basic Safety Training Requirements

Before being assigned any shipboard tasks, anyone employed or engaged in any capacity on board a ship with designated safety or pollution-prevention duties, will be required to successfully complete those elements of approved basic training appropriate to their duties and functions. The four elements of basic training are:

  • Personal Survival Techniques (STCW Table A-VI/1-1)
  • Fire Prevention and Fire Fighting (STCW Table A-VI/1-2)
  • Elementary First Aid (STCW Code – Table A-VI/1-3)
  • Personal Safety and Social Responsibilities (STCW Code – Table A-VI/1-4)

New Legislative Requirements

In conforming to the provisions of STCW Convention Regulation 1/14, and section A-1/14, of the STCW Code, companies must ensure that seafarers assigned to any of their ships have received refresher and updating training as required by the convention.

If a member of your team is serving on board a ship and is qualified in any of the following, they must, as of the 1st of January 2017, have documentary evidence of either having completed the training course or updated their training within the last 5 years.

The 2010 Manila Amendments to the STCW Code introduced new requirements for seafarers to hold the following certificates of proficiency:

  • Updated Proficiency in Personal Survival Techniques (STCW Table A-VI/1-1)
  • Updated Proficiency in Proficiency in Survival Craft and Rescue Boats Other Than Fast Rescue Boats (STCW Table A-VI/2-1)
  • Updated Proficiency in Fire Prevention and Fire Fighting (STCW Table A-VI/1-2)
  • Updated Proficiency in Advanced Fire Fighting (STCW Table A-VI/3)
  • Updated Proficiency in Proficiency in Fast Rescue Boats (STCW Table A-VI/2-2)

 

 

 Seafarers required to hold any of the certificates of proficiency listed above shall, every five years, provide evidence of having maintained the required standard of competence to undertake the tasks, duties and responsibilities specified in the tables.

Seafarers validating their CoC or CoP after 1st January 2017 will be required to submit documentary evidence of having completed such training.

What this means for you & your organisation

From 1st January 2017, Port State Control Officers will require seafarers to provide documentary evidence of having maintained the required standard of competence to undertake the tasks, duties and responsibilities listed above. Presenting the documentary evidence obtained on completing an MCA approved refresher course will meet this requirement.

All Companies are required by STCW Reg I/14 to ensure that seafarers assigned to any of its ships have received refresher and updating training required by STCW.

 

Our Refresher Course

The refresher course which we offer here at NMCI Services, through one of our Joint Venture companies SEFtec NMCI Offshore, is MCA approved and meets the requirements laid out by STCW Reg 1/4. Our Refresher training includes:

  • Updated Proficiency in Personal Survival Techniques (STCW Table A-VI/1-1)
  • Updated Proficiency in Proficiency in Survival Craft and Rescue Boats Other Than Fast Rescue Boats (STCW Table A-VI/2-1)
  • Updated Proficiency in Fire Prevention and Fire Fighting (STCW Table A-VI/1-2)
  • Updated Proficiency in Advanced Fire Fighting (STCW Table A-VI/3)
  • Updated Proficiency in Proficiency in Fast Rescue Boats (STCW Table A-VI/2-2)

RTÉ 2 – Tested on Humans

Posted: December 8, 2015

 

Tested On Humans, RTÉ 2 , Monday December 14th at 9pm

We were delighted to be involved in the filming of the series Tested on Humans which was aired last night on RTÉ 2. Claire and Keith will take the Helicopter Escape Test on the next episode which will air on December 14th. Tested On Humans is a brand new two-part series from ShinAwiL featuring two exciting test subjects radio host Keith Walsh (Breakfast Republic and The Gun Show) and model/slash daredevil Claire Tracey.

Tested On Humans has thrown these two unsuspecting test subjects together to test their mind, body and nerves in a wide range of situations. The tests were formulated by the brightest and best experts in their fields of expertise. Thanks to our human guinea pigs, viewers will get to experience these tests from the comfort of their couch and with zero inconvenience.

“ShinAwiL are proud to bring the Irish viewers Tested on Humans and show how the human endurance can actually be very entertaining”, says Larry Bass CEO of ShinAwiL.

Keith and Claire have been tested scientifically, physically mentally and emotionally for your viewing pleasure with tests that include the following:

The Abduction Test – Without warning we arranged a full Tiger Kidnapping of Claire and Keith and put them through what it would feel like in a real abduction situation.

The Mind Test – We delve deep into the brain using NLP (Neuro Linguistic Programming) and install phobias that didn’t exist before.

The Pain Test – We put the age old argument to rest, who can handle pain better? Men? Or women? By making Keith and Claire wear weighted pregnancy bellies for days and then simulating labor pains.

The Extreme Food Test – We explode Keith and Claire’s senses by using two mystery chefs challenging them to come up with inventive ways to eat the most extreme flavors in the world. These include the smelliest fish in the world and the hottest chilies on the planet.

The Clean Test – We forced our two presenters not to wash, we then took readings from their dirty little hands to see exactly what they picked up from the world around them.

The Wingate Test – Both Keith and Claire are pushed to their absolute physical limit when put through their paces with a test designed for professional athletes.

The Helicopter Escape Test – Our two get to feel what it’s like to escape from a simulated helicopter crash at the National Maritime College of Ireland

The Heat Test – Claire and Keith are put through a series of fire scenarios where they will get up close with temperatures up to 1000 degrees and have to save a victim from a smoke filled room.

The Balance and Influence Test – We pit Keith and Claire against each other in Queens University Belfast where they will experience the ultimate in VR technology to test their balance.
