I Preamble

Over the past few years we have noticed that Columbia's annual Training Activities Report became an important reference document summarizing among many topics the developments and future strategies, statistics of completed trainings cooperation with maritime education and training institutes and Columbia's innovative solutions regarded as industry best practices for crew training.

In this edition we have added new sections where experts address both existing and future challenges with relevance to the digital era.

Digitalization in crew training is becoming gradually a fact and an aim in itself. In addition to the existing technology of simulators new solutions are now very effective such as eLearning, virtual classrooms, Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality content. Columbia has decided to make full use of modern technology taking its training strategies to the next level. One of our 2019 projects will be the digitalization of in-house training certificates and their authentication using the Blockchain technology.

lessons using their own knowledge and other information acquired from the Internet (using their own devices) and from other resources. In this regard we are planning to work closely with professional institutes specialized in the field of adult education and professional development.

This approach will be implemented in all our existing and future training facilities by changing the layout of the classrooms, the design of the facilities and by the modernization of the equipment provided such as smart boards and monitors. Our strategy is to set-up SMART Training Centres for teaching the Skills of Tomorrow.

Columbia will also transform the way training is delivered by introducing modern education and teaching techniques based on facilitation rather than lecturing. Our new approach will enable the seafarers to contribute to the

II A Word from Mark O'Neil

The quality of crew is of utmost importance and for the safe operation and management of our fleet. A quality crew is a healthy, well- motivated and well- trained crew, physically and mentally able to deal with the challenges on board our vessels. Training - and quality training more specifically - is perhaps the single most important factor in our industry and the factor by which we can best differentiate our business from that of our competitors. The importance of training will only grow and grow with the rapid developments and opportunities brought-on by digitalization and technological advance. Training must keep up with these rapid developments and opportunities and our crew must commit to the need for lifelong learning.

To achieve excellence in training we have made significant steps, such as our first Performance Optimization Control Room in the Cyprus office which will be duplicated in the Philippines, the new eLearning Management System (Adobe Systems), the web-based crew portal, the digitalization of the Management System (AMOS QMS) etc. In 2019 we will have our first owned Training Centre in Manila which we want to be a beacon in the maritime training industry and recognised as a centre of excellence.

Our continuous efforts to improve the quality and extent of training are part of our I Care philosophy - the fact that we care passionately about the wellbeing of our seafarers. Alongside continuous improvements in the content and delivery of training, we are also focussing our efforts on other ways to enhance the wellbeing of our seafarers; better nutrition and dietary management with our partners MCTC, mental health advice and support through our mental health hotline, empowerment of women and the principle of diversity through our CSM Together programme which will broaden out into a wider diversity drive in the near future.

Embrace the training opportunities offered to you. Embrace the new technology available to deliver the training modules. Embrace the need for us all to continue learning throughout our lives in order to keep up with the exciting changes and developments.
