Dear Seafarer,

Since Nov 20 2020 we have a new LMS for Cargo and Offshore Seafarers from Ocean Technologies. 

This new LMS has a different login screen and login process from the old system. It also works a bit different to the old system. Please read through this and bookmark the page. We are updating it regularly. Last time done was on Feb 01, 2021. 


TABLE OF CONTENTS

Content & Compliance 

The LMS provides you with different eLearning & video content for your safety on board and development:


  1. Compliance related content: according to the matrix we have setup in our HR System called ShipSure
    (can be based on special requirements, e.g. from one owner). ShipSure defines what you must do, the LMS provides the content.
  2. Content provided in addition to standard compliance (e.g. the owner provides special content)


Please make sure you understand what courses you must complete before going on-board. 


You will see some of the courses as completed in the LMS, please check the expiration day on those to make sure it is valid longer than your assignment on board. You then need to do those again.

First time login?

The URL/link to login is detailed below, please read the following instructions on how to log in.


Note for our officers who need to complete the Navigation Simulator Exercises: You will not find them on new LMS. Please consult with the Crewing department on how to find & complete.

How to find eLearning


You may have received an email which tells you all eLearning you have to complete.

Go to Requirements and understand the different options:


1) Not approved & Critical for rank = YES

These are courses you have to complete based on your rank in the LMS (and in our ShipSure system).
In some cases like US HAZMAT Awareness it can be vessel dependent. Do not worry, check with Crewing on the requirements. 


2) Approved

All records from previous completions or import including training that will expire!


Important here: If you go to a vessel and an eLearning is going to expire it shows here in the LMS
(100 days before expiration) and you have to complete the eLearning expiring again


Our Crewing department will tell you in advance all courses expiring during your assignment, this is independent from the 100 days the LMS shows it in advance.

Do not get confused when they show completed: it means you did complete in the past and you may have to do again before expiration & assignment on board. Example: 


Go the the course and complete it again by clicking on details.
