Odfjell officers participated in cargo simulator training in Haugesund, followed by sessions in Bergen, while management-level officers completed advanced medical training at Haukeland Hospital. Read a summary by Competence Development Manager Karianne Grønseth.

“Six Norwegian and Swedish junior officers attended a cargo simulator course at Simsea in Haugesund. This will be followed by two days of cargo training at the office in Bergen, conducted by MSG and Ship Management.

This course serves as a test to provide an alternative in Norway for the Advanced Cargo Handling course offered in Manila.”

“Simultaneously, nine management-level officers attended an extended medical training session at Haukeland Hospital, with instructors from Radio Medico. The training included numerous practical exercises, such as venipuncture, patient treatment, and casualty transportation.”

“These training sessions are part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing the competence and skills of our officers. By providing opportunities for continuous learning and development, we aim to ensure that our team is well-equipped to handle the challenges of their roles.”
