The Onorato Armatori group has renewed for the third time A five-year agreement with the training centre Italian Maritime Academy Technologies (IMAT) for certification of the crews operating on board the ships of the group. The activity consists not only of training Internationally Regulated Mandatory (STCW), which ensures the full and immediate availability of certified seafarers even in peaks of seasonal activity, but also the organization of training cycles strongly oriented on specific operational needs of the shipowner.

Soon among the equipment that IMAT makes available for the Staff training will be added to a true dual engine fuel, already purchased, of 250 tons over a second latest generation hybrid engine capable of using as a both methanol and ammonia fuels.

"It is - explained the sole director - of the Academy, Erminia Della Monica - of a radical revolution in the field of training. The aim is to replace the traditional simulation with real-world experience, in direct contact with the controls, equipment, systems that seafarers will find on board the ships. Like the airlines, we are investing heavily in innovations that will revolutionize the sector, so that we are already ready for the demands that will come in the future."
