The Global Training Management and Service (TMS) agreement will run for three years, with the option to extend for another two years. It includes training and competency solutions in marine survival, health, safety and environment, marine operations, diving and deck operations for Boskalis’ 1,000-strong workforce. Maersk Training noted that the deal also includes the appointment of a new employee, bringing the total number of team members to 12. Earlier this year, the company spent £720m refurbishing its Safety and Survival Centre in Portlethan. New facilities include a larger swimming pool, a training unit for confined spaces, a first aid training unit, and a basic technical training simulator. Stephen Ferguson, interim commercial head of Maersk Training UK, said: “Following recent investments in our facilities, as well as our continued focus on supporting businesses in the energy transition, this is an exciting time for Maersk. “Recognising Boskalis Subsea Services as their preferred partner for managing training requirements is a testament to the quality our team delivers, along with our superb facilities.” The company's e-learning suite will be used, along with simulations, hands-on exercises and activities. Natalie Carroll, global competency and training manager for Boskalis Subsea Services, added: “The team is geographically well positioned to help manage our training requirements, while using innovative solutions to ensure our technical, health and safety standards are of the highest standard.” Boskalis, headquartered in Westhill in Aberdeenshire, provides subsea services to clients in the offshore energy industry.
