Update Safety Training Sailing Vessels (STSV)

In News Update no.13, we informed about the new Safety Training Sailing Vessels (STSV) for commercial seagoing sailing vessels. Ongoing discussions and a lawsuit have led to the government granting more time for the implementation of this training course. The STSV certificate will be mandatory for officers on sailing vessels <500GT as of May this year, when the Regeling Bemanning Zeeschepen will come into effect. The course is a combination of Proficiency in Survival Craft & Crisis Management & Human behavior and is custom built for seagoing sailing vessels.

The initial pilot training is scheduled for April 11 and 12, by the Enkhuizen Nautical School (EZS).
