The new releases are Principle of Assessment, Onboard Assessment, Oil record book – part 11, Galley operations 3 – food handling, Electric propulsion – fundamentals, Marine environmental awareness, Environmental Challenges and four Learning MS modules.

Roger Ringstad, managing director, Seagull, said: “Owners and seafarers alike are facing an increasing array of demanding legislative requirements and Seagull’s extensive learning modules are designed to ensure they are able comply with these.”

In addition, the company is also making revisions to a number of its existing modules, including Steering gear (operation), Steering gear (construction and maintenance) and minor amendments to Introduction to computers, MLC 2006 n- basic introduction, among others.

“The Maritime Labour Convention, 2006 came into force in August and, as with our original MLC modules, the revised addition with the introduction of the Portuguese language assists seafarers and shore-based staff alike to make themselves fully aware of their rights and obligations in the event of non-compliance with the convention,” Mr Ringstad added.

The module, Electric propulsion, covers a host of fundamental electrical concepts and is the first in a series of four.

Onboard Assessment builds on Principle of Assessment, which looks at assessment terminology, and focuses on standards of training, certification and Watchkeeping (STCW).

The Marine environmental awareness, environmental challenges aims to increase knowledge of the impact of shipping on the marine environment and the role of regulations by focusing on onboard procedures and environmental regulations.
