CrewInspector has signed a partnership agreement with the Latvian Maritime Academy to provide lectures and training courses in crewing and crew management.
Theoretical knowledge and practical tasks with crew management software enable students studying in the Ports and Shipping management bachelor programme to understand the process of crew management from different angles.
Global Trends and Practices
Crew management is part of the vessel management lecture course where students are able to gain basic knowledge of the practical part of day to day crewing issues. CrewInspector provides an overview of global trends and practices in crew management industry by outlining differences in Asian, Middle East and European markets. Theoretical lectures highlight topics related to various operational risks such as economic downturn, human errors, human resource management issues and preventive measures concerning seafarer incompetency and drug and alcohol prevention.
Practical Tasks with Crew Management Software
Special attention is given to practical tasks with crew management software. Students have to go through the full crew management process starting from recruitment, crew planning for predefined vessel ranks and meeting safe manning requirements.
Crewing Costs
Students are divided into teams each taking care of a different vessel. The primary task is to create crew employment contracts using different wage scales and making sure the crewing costs fit within predefined budget for the vessel. The final tasks are wage calculation and customer invoicing to identify any errors that may have occurred during the crew wage set-up.
