  • Are you seeking a cutting-edge solution for your STCW training?​
  • Are your pilots and captains entering smaller and smaller terminals with ever-larger vessels?​
  • Do you need to train your captains to mitigate overload on pilot vessels with large vessels in narrow channels?

Meeting international standards for maritime training, BMT's REMBRANDT can play a crucial role in the initial training of new entry pilots, continued professional development for experienced pilots and ship handling manoeuvring training for ship officers.

Your people, our solution

Ship officer training

BMT REMBRANDT offers the industry standard for initial training, continued professional development or advanced ship handling for ship officers.

We offer bespoke ship handling manoeuvring training for ships officers. Course scenarios include mooring operations associated with berthing alongside an FLNG platform or FPSO in various conditions likely to be encountered in the actual operating environment.

In day-to-day operations, BMT REMBRANDT can support passage planning.

Training for marine pilots

Our simulator centre can help marine pilots meet the training requirements of IMO Resolution A960 and maintain high standards of professional competency.   Regular use of the simulation software can improve and enhance pilotage skills in vessel safety and navigational aptitude in various scenarios.

A trainee pilot can experience multiple environmental scenarios and weather conditions in a safe and controlled setting through the virtual environment.  Training with simulation software helps marine pilots plan the course of the vessel considering tides, weather, size, weight, tug requirements, and other characteristics.
