FOREWORD BY CAPTAIN LEN HOLDER, Extra Master, M.Phil, FNI, FRIN The purpose of this catalogue is to help you choose the right content and the best methods of delivery to meet your training needs. Changes in technology, new media and better ways of assessing and recording results, have widened the choice. Videotel’s experience and the collective wisdom of more than 600 client companies, are here to help you make that choice, and to reduce expenditure by choosing the right options first time and sharing the cost of production. If you are uncertain whether VHS Cassettes and Booklets, high quality video on DVD or VCD, Computer-based training (CBT) on CD-ROM, or the new very flexible Videotel on Demand (VOD) system are what you need, we can help you get the best value for your training budget. If you require help in planning and monitoring the effectiveness of training, Videotel Training Services can help you. It is now ten years since the International Maritime Organization revised the Standards of Training Certification and Watchkeeping Convention to improve safety and environmental protection. In future the industry will face more challenges, but the objectives are clear. In a speech in April 2005, Efthimios E. Mitropoulos, Secretary-General of the International Maritime Organization stated: "...Let us, therefore, work harder than ever before to make ships safer and the environment cleaner; let us remove any excuse for unilateral or regional measures thus ensuring that IMO continues to be the sole decision-making body in the world competent to regulate shipping engaged in international trade; and, then, let us use every opportunity available to highlight the role of shipping and the progress it has made, and is constantly making, in terms of safety, security and the environment..." At Videotel we have worked with the International Maritime Organization for more than thirty years, supporting our client companies by improving the education, training and latterly also the security, of seafarers. We will continue close co-operation in the future. All national administrations welcome the presence on board of Videotel Long-term Rental Libraries and many now recognise Videotel products and services as meeting the statutory requirements for short courses as well as normal shipboard training. Companies that use the products and services of Videotel Marine International demonstrate their commitment to high standards. Developing a safety culture, getting the best out of the International Safety Management (ISM) Code and training for tomorrow as well as today. They reap the benefits of well-trained and competent staff, sustaining fewer accidents, operating with greater efficiency and ultimately, with higher profits.
