Background

The main objective for Hegh Fleet Services AS in providing training is;

-To improve the competency of all shipboard personnel regarding safety & environmental awareness and professional duty.-

In compliance with HFS' policy of building and maintaining a high level of competency for all personnel categories, a Training Framework has been
established. The main part of this framework is the on-the-job-training on board the vessels. HFS offers varied types of training ranging from shore-based,
practical hands-on courses, via class room type courses to computer based training.

For details about Hegh Fleet Services AS' training policy, please consult the Vessel Manual and/or the Manning Agents Manual.
Recognizing that instructor resources on board are scarce, HFS is offering shore-based training in areas such as:
Mandatory courses (STCW 95, GMDSS and GAS familiarization)
Environmental and management courses
Ship handling courses
Other HFS recommended courses
Operation of on board systems and equipment - both deck and engine

As shown in the course matrix, most of the courses are tied either to specific career plans or certain positions.
The courses are divided into two columns and the following policy is established:
Required courses are to be completed before first sea-service on HFS vessels. Selected courses can be done during first trip onboard or as soon as possible
during the seafarers' first vacation.
Recommended courses can be offered when required courses are completed and if candidates are recommended by HFS Fleet Personnel/Manning Agents.

If a course is of common interest, it may be permanently implemented in the Shore Based Training Plan.
The Shore Based Training Plan is an important part of the CD (Career Development) Plan.

Planning and execution of the shore based training is done by our Manning Agents in co-operation with each participant and in accordance with the
recommendation in Crew Evaluation Report (CER) given by the Captains and the department heads. A direct involvement from the vessels, in selecting
candidates and relevant training course, is of vital importance for the efficiency in building up a high quality, professional crew.
