Data Protection Committee
Has started their works and is open for new members:
Aims and Objectives:
· To create ‘Data Protection Best Practice Guidelines for Ship Management’ for the benefit of the ship management community.
o This would address ship manager-specific data protection issues, e.g. compliance with GDPR and other local data protection requirements outside of the EEA, how to handle data transfers (to large numbers of recipients) and international data transfers.
- To gather interest from ship managers across the industry to:
o Increase the breadth of knowledge and experience to help create these Guidelines
o Give these Guidelines more weight and credibility

23 March to Sunday 31 March 2019 – EMCS are now taking reservations for the next Ship Superintendents’ Training Programme, running from Saturday 23 March to Sunday 31 March 2019.
The course is endorsed by DNV-GL, IMarEST, University College, the Isle of Man Ship Registry, InterManager and EMCS International.
Originally designed for newly appointed recruits to the position of Superintendent and seagoing Engineers and Deck Officers coming ashore, the training has evolved to provide an excellent foundation in all aspects of maritime operations. The programme welcomes delegates from all over the world from a variety of roles and maritime sectors including commercial shipping, yacht management, ship repair etc, to gain an oversight and understanding of roles and responsibilities to facilitate good working relationships.
The major asset of the programme is the vast wealth of experience from a professional team of lecturers, having accumulated between them over 250 years’ experience in every aspect of the Shipping Industry. Many employers have realised the fundamental benefits of an exceptionally intensive nine consecutive day programme, encompassing two weekends, to the point that the programme is now compulsory for their new superintendents (and often employees holding a variety of other positions within their organisation).
The cost of the 9 day programme is £3,000. If you would like any further information or to make a reservation then please do not hesitate to contact us, or visit http://www.emcs.co.im/superintendents-course/
