Seably Introduces KARCO And Its Pioneering 3D Animated Online Marine Courses

Seably introduces KARCO and its pioneering 3D Animated Online Marine Courses the global online marketplace for bespoke maritime training is expanding its library of online maritime training courses through a new global partnership with KARCO, the India based innovative and leading of 3D animated online marine courses.

KARCO is an acknowledged pioneer in 3D animated safety and operation videos and provides creative training solutions for the marine industry. This partnership will add over 50 online courses based on animated safety videos to the content already available as part of a Seably subscription package.

This dynamic element also introduces another aspect of effective e-learning available for seafarers on the Seably platform. Seably was created by seafarers for seafarers. It is the first maritime digital marketplace that brings together specialised content, leading technology and teaching skills from seafarers, educationalists, industry specialists, insurers, surveyors and a whole range of other related service providers.

KARCO started developing their use of animation for the maritime industry in 2007, when they created the first fully 3D animated marine safety video. Part of the KARCO Group of Companies in India, they have built a unique development tool for communicating training concepts to seafarers globally.

3D animation brings images to life using a digital three-dimensional display of images which add a realistic, and at the same time engaging and immersive experience. In training, it is considered a powerful learning tool, as it can help all learners to easily conquer new and complex knowledge. The vivid and attractive representations bring to life personal marine casualty incidents that cannot be captured by live video. At the same time, the easy-to-follow graphics facilitate a clear and detailed understanding of hazardous situations which also eliminate the challenges typically brought about by different languages and cultures.

KARCO 3D animated courses cover quality safety training and certification in topics such as pilot ladder and static electricity on tankers and will be available for Seably subscribers from April 2021 onwards.
