GlobalMET is participating in the review group for revising the following IMO model courses likely to be validated at HTW 8 -
- Security awareness training for all port facility personnel (MC 3.25)
- Security training for seafarers with designated security duties (MC 3.26)
- Security awareness training for all seafarers (MC 3.27)
It is also involved as the review group coordinator for revising the following model courses for HTW 9 (Ref: HTW 7-16)
- Proficiency in survival craft and rescue boats other than fast rescue boats (MC 1.23)
- Proficiency in fast rescue boats (MC 1.24)
GlobalMET (represented by Capt. Vinayak Mohla) was the Review Group Coordinator in 2019 & 2020 for the following IMO model course at HTW 6 (HTW 6/3/3) and HTW 7 (HTW 7/3/1) –
- Passenger safety, cargo safety and hull integrity training
It participated in the correspondence group on Action Verb Taxonomy for model courses (HTW 7/7)
In 2018, GlobalMET, represented by Capt. Vinayak Mohla was the review group co-ordinator for the IMO model courses “Passenger safety, cargo safety and hull integrity training”, “Safety training for personnel providing direct service to passengers in passenger spaces”, “ Passenger ship crowd management training”, “Crisis management and human behaviour training”, “ Ratings as able seafarer engine in a manned engine-room or designated to perform duties in a periodically unmanned engine-room” and “Proficiency in personal survival techniques”. Also, GlobalMET, represented by Capt. Sanjay Bugnait, was the review group co-ordinator for the IMO model course “Use of leadership and managerial skills”. This work was presented at the IMO in July 2018 (HTW 5).
At HTW 5, GlobalMET, represented by Capt. Vinayak Mohla, chaired Drafting Group 1 which validated the model courses:
- Electro-Technical Rating
- Ratings as able seafarer engine in a manned engine room or designated to perform duties in a periodically unmanned engine room
- LNG Tanker cargo and ballast handling simulator (IMO MC 1.36)
- Proficiency in personal survival techniques (IMO MC 1.19)
In 2017, GlobalMET, represented by Capt. Tim Wilson, was the review group co-ordinator for the draft new model course 2.07 on Use of engine room simulation for training and assessment of seafarers in the engine department. Also, GlobalMET represented by Capt. Vinayak Mohla, was the review group co-ordinator for the model courses- “Ratings as able seafarer engine in a manned engine-room or designated to perform duties in a periodically unmanned engine-room”, and “Ratings forming part of a watch in a manned engine-room or designated to perform duties in a periodically unmanned engine-room”. This work was presented at IMO in Feb 2017.
In February 2017, the IMO HTW Subcommittee expressed its appreciation for GlobalMET’s work in the drafting committee for the revision of IMO model courses 1.30, 2.07, 3.12, 6.092. We were able to carry out this extensive work, thanks to the co-operation of the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) and the other members of the Review Group.
