SAFETY, SURVIVAL & TRAINING A north east of England maritime training establishment has launched a newly refurbished safety and survival centre following a £60k investment. The Maersk Training UK centre has been updated to reflect the changing needs of the industry as it looks to the future and the energy transition. The investment has allowed for the training facilities to be upgraded and strengthens the centre’s offshore safety offering to the north east of England workforce. The installation of a new technical workshop means the centre can deliver courses on basic safety and technical training, as well as bespoke advanced technical training. In addition, as the first training centre in the UK to be accredited by the Global Wind Organisation, the Newcastle site is uniquely placed to offer training to those involved in the Dogger Bank Wind Farm, the world’s largest offshore wind farm. Offering all five modules of the GWO Basic Safety Training and the GWO Basic Safety Training Refresher, MTUK has a bespoke hub rescue facility, which provides practical training for those required to access the hub and yaw sections of wind turbine generators and how to rescue a casualty from these areas.

The pandemic has accelerated our move into digital training, and as a result we have invested in the technology required to allow us to provide our services to companies digitally.
