The program aims to strengthen relationships between maritime safety agencies in our region and assist in the transfer of skills and knowledge between participants. The two-week program is held each year during October and will provide participants with opportunities to:
- meet with technical experts to learn about Australia’s approach to PSC
- meet with participants from other international maritime organisations
- share comparative approaches on PSC and related issues.
Due to the continued coronavirus pandemic we are not providing our training course in 2020.
