[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA) has released a training programme, produced by VideotelTM, a KVH company, (Nasdaq:KVHI), to encourage safe navigation in the Singapore Strait. Carrying an estimated one third of the world’s traded goods, the Singapore Strait is one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes. Recent projections show that maritime traffic is set to increase significantly along this narrow waterway, which, together with the Malacca Strait, stretches for more than 400 miles, connecting the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean.
“Being chosen to produce this three-part training package was a great honour for us and reinforces the quality of our work and the ability to interpret a complex brief, turning it into an informative and interactive e-Learning training package,” says Nigel Cleave, CEO of Videotel.
Aimed at experienced ship masters and bridge teams, “Safe Passage in the Singapore Strait” is a three-part training package of two full-length videos and an interactive computer-based module. The programme is being distributed free to shipping companies by the MPA. In addition, subscribers to Videotel’s award-winning Videotel On Demand (VOD) system will also have access to this training package.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
