Description
The STCW -95 training, also known as the Basic Safety Training (BST), is the standard emergency, safety and survival training required by IMO for anyone working at sea. In Brazil the course has 2 variations: one for offshore platforms and one for ships. The courses are essentially the same with a slight variation to account for differences in ships and platforms, as required by the Brazilian Maritime Authority.
The focus of this training course is essentially for personnel working aboard cruise ships and recreational vessels. Offshore workers aboard oil rigs and platforms are required by Brazilian legislation to attend the Offshore version of the BST.
This course follows the format set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). According to the Brazilian Maritime Authority, the STCW-95 is compulsory for all persons who work on-board cruises and ships.
NOTE: The course lectures, handouts and workbook are all in Portuguese. The training provided is in accordance with international standards as required by the IMO in the STCW convention; however it is tailored to the requirements set out by the Brazilian Maritime Authority.
