What makes us unique?

Why use our training products?
Inspection is increasingly strict for compliance with MARPOL requirements in the economic exploitation of ocean resources, whether in the naval or offshore industry. In Brazil, the Brazilian Navy is in charge of this inspection, through DPC – Department of Ports and Coasts. Globally, many operating companies have been fined more than 10 million dollars for compliance failures. Our training programs can generate real savings by the full understanding the standards and the risks of noncompliance.
