Your maritime training partner

Tap into three decades of experience in specialized asset

management and handling gas for the maritime and

offshore industry.

In the complex world of LPG and LNG, EXMAR Group

has developed innovative means of handling, storing,

transporting and trans-shipping gas and chemicals in both

liquefied and gaseous states. EXMAR Ship Management

not only operates and maintains these specialized assets,

but also supports the final stage of construction and takes

care of commissioning, delivery and certification of

new-builds.

High-end operations and management for gas carriers and maritime infrastructure

Today LNG pioneer EXMAR covers the entire LNG value

chain. Since we performed the first commercial ship-to-

ship (STS) LNG transfer, we have completed over 700

successful LNG STSs. We manage half of the world’s FRSU

fleet and are ready to operate the world’s first floating

liquefaction, regasification and storage unit.

EXMAR Academy’s trainers bring your crew the benefit

of technical and management expertise combined with

know-how and experience gained on a diversified fleet of

gas tankers and specialized offshore units.

ISO-certified maritime training partner in AntwerpThe impact on crew training of new STCW 2010 (Manila

Amendments) requirements coming into force as of

2017, has inspired EXMAR Ship Management to establish

EXMAR Academy.

This training institute is ISO 9001 certified by Lloyd’s

Register. It is the logical result of our tradition of in-house

crew training and skills development by our own highly

experienced staff officers. They have been trained and

coached in turn to educate colleagues and to transfer

technical knowledge linked to practical know-how.

Today we share our broad base of in-house expertise

and experience and our global network to offer quality

trainings to the entire maritime industry.

MCRM, liquefied gas and beyondThe core of EXMAR Academy’s offer currently consists of

Maritime Crew Resource Management (MCRM - BRM/

ERM) training and Specialized Training for Liquefied

Gas Tankers. Our trainers are experts in both topics as

these programmes have been mandatory for all EXMAR

Ship Management deck officers and staff engineers and

recommended for all other engineers for many years.

Of course we teach other topics too apart from the above

trainings. Courses can be organized at request and on

behalf of third parties as well.

Contact us with any specific questions!

We tailor our services to your needs and establish a long-

term partnership with your organisation.

Managing the human factor for safe and efficient teamsTo improve safety and efficiency, it is necessary to

understand what drives human behaviour and how

it can be managed. Specific attention goes to human

involvement.

MCRM is a course designed to develop positive attitudes

to communication and management skills. In addition, it

aims to generate a common vocabulary which facilitates

the dialogue about human behaviour and skills. It also

provides tools that can be employed in the operative

environment to stimulate the desired behaviour.

From academics to practice and backOur MCRM training combines academic knowledge with

a practical approach. The course has been developed by

Oxford Aviation Academy (OAA) and is delivered under

license by highly experienced members of our seafaring

staff serving ashore and on board.

OAA has been at the forefront of Human Factor Training

for the maritime industry since its key involvement in the

development of the original Bridge Resource Management

(BRM) course in the early 1990’s.

Maritime Crew Resource Management (MCRM) training

CERTIFICATION OAA’s MCRM programme is certified by

DNV against the STCW Manila amendments

for mandatory Bridge and Engine Resource

Management training at the operational and

management levels. The amendments came into

force in January 2012.
