SHORE BASE TEAM & TRAINING

The shore based team is one with a mix of highly qualified and experienced staff. This was achieved both through the use of strict criteria in selection and regular training of the current staff. Training is undertaken on a continuous basis and includes participation in public and private educational programmes as well as International Forums, postgraduate training and seminars.

SHIP BOARD TEAM & TRAINING

All of our vessels are manned primarily by experienced Greek officers providing a high level of skill and seamanship. Our officers are typically recruited as cadets from the various maritime academies and usually spend their whole career with Avin. Officers and Crew are also trained at the Greek Merchant Marine Ministry Education Center, participate in Helmepa courses and also take part in various”in-house” seminars held by AVIN International’s own Training Office. We ensure that our officers are constantly updated in the latest trends concerning environmental safety, navigational and technological issues. On board, training is also carried out within a planned scheme in accordance with the company’s rigorous training policy. This includes various drills as well as approved computer based training, always in accordance with the International (SOLAS, STCW, ISM CODE/S.M.S) and National requirements.
