Maersk Training has entered into a global training agreement with Transocean.
The deal will make the company responsible for administration of all and delivery of certain training for Transocean’s offshore crew for a period of at least five years.
The agreement also adds additional operational centres and Maersk Training will now have facilities in ten of the global maritime and offshore production hubs in the world such as Denmark, Norway and Singapore.
Claus Bihl, chief executive of Maersk Training, said: “We have seen a substantial period of growth within safety and operational training, reflecting the oil and gas industry’s push forward in terms of safety and efficiency and we are excited about this agreement, feeling convinced that it will reinforce and further strengthen safety and operational performance in the offshore industry.”
A spokesman for Maersk Training said the significance of training is becoming more evident as the industry sets out to drill in ever harsher environments and deeper waters.
