In response to the concern related to maritime safety and improvement of Captains, Officers and Pilot’s quality training, the number of these activities has increased during the last years. These training courses provide seafarers with more confidence and knowledge in new maritime operations or in emergency scenarios.

These programs are tailor made for the client and based on Siport21 methodology approved by DNV-GL. They include building databases of any port area around the world and ship models corresponding to the specific fleet of the shipping companies.
On the other hand, Pilots from 22 Spanish ports have attended in different port infrastructure projects -A Coruña, Algeciras, Barcelona, Bilbao, Castellon, Gijon, Tenerife, Sevilla y Valencia, among others- as well as from 31 international ports – Peru, Argentina, Mexico, Brazil, Portugal, Cuba, Colombia, Italy, Thailand, Turkey, Pakistan, Morocco, Jordan, Taiwan, Norway, Greece and Tunis-. In these projects, the Pilots have collaborated, with the technical team of Siport21, in the feasibility assessment of new infrastructures or upgrading of actual facilities. The access of new larger vessels or the management of new traffics, like dangerous goods, is the objective of other projects.
Finally, Tug Masters from several international companies (SAAM, Reyser, Svitzer, Tramarsa, Coltugs, Intertug, Coremar Goup and Spilbun) have been involved in different projects together with Pilots.
