Msg from member to members:
In response to a request by the GlobalMET committee members, work commenced on drafting a best-practice guideline for maritime education and training providers.
A questionnaire is now available to gather information and perceptions of standards, both nationally and internationally in respect to this aim.
In the upcoming edition of the Nautical Institute’s “Seaways” magazine, readers will be invited to participate in the questionnaire.
The questionnaire will be “live” for several months until the number of respondents starts to tail off.
Those who include their email address within the questionnaire will be informed of developments concerning the project.
The website address for the questionnaire as follows:-
www.manukau.ac.nz/nzmaritime/met-questionnaire/
There are 3 separate questionnaires dependant on role.
1. The Industry Questionnaire – Is for those involved in the management of ships and sea staff.
2. The MET Questionnaire – Is for those involved in the training and education of seafarers.
3. The Seafarers Questionnaire – Is for Seafarers who have attended maritime schools.
On behalf of the GlobalMET membership, thank you for taking the time to read this message and consider the request.

Lloyd’s Register provides new DVD to promote safe boat transfers
Short film to educate employees about the best ways to minimise risks when working over water
Lloyd’s Register has issued a new short film entitled Safe Boat Transfers to help provide marine surveyors with comprehensive instructions on how to safely transfer between two vessels at sea.
Working over water and, in particular, boat transfers, during which surveyors switch from a transfer vessel to the boat they are surveying, is a very high-risk activity. The film, originally developed for Lloyd’s Register employees, aims to raise awareness about the associated risks and hazards, and to provide instruction for every stage of the transfer.
It is hoped that Safe Boat Transfers will help to significantly reduce the accidents associated with boat transfers.
Receiving your copy:
The DVD can be ordered from the Lloyd’s Register webstore: http://www.webstore.lr.org.
