As the Training Centre was initially dedicated to providing skilled and competent future seafarers, they needed the appropriate equipment, e.g., specialized simulators, in order to reflect the real-life situation of different departments onboard ship.

In their turn, multiple affiliated third-parties who have been collaborating with the Training Centre have already provided significant donations to supply the Centre with the newest technologies and standards.

Recently, QuickCashLoans expanded the list of current partners by sponsoring the Training Centre activities. It gave the Centre the opportunity to acquire the necessary hands-on equipment designed for minimizing the occurrence of accidents on board ship during the training process.

Moreover, the American company financially supported specific training sites, including lifeboat, lifecraft, and a model of shipboard interior. The polygon is used towards the practical part of the training program, i.e., the demonstration of advanced firefighting in enclosed spaces and is a useful addition to the training course.

The annual MOL Safety Conference, hosted by Azalea Maritime, took place from the 28th of February until the 01st of March 2017 in the Hotel LeMeridien Lav, Split. 200 participants, seafarers, company representatives and guest speakers, from 15 different countries discussed the strategy of the new Company goal - One MOL, in order to become the world leader in safe operation and achieving 4 Zeroes - Zero fatal accidents, Zero serious marine incidents, Zero oil pollution, Zero cargo damage. Unfortunately, the participants had to be reminded of the notable incidents occurred in 2016. During the two day program, seafarers, together with the company representatives, had to opportunity to attend various workshops, providing new ideas for improving safe operation on board ship and lessons learned from past incidents.

During the official dinner, the Company showed gratitude to the seafarers with long service and awarded them with the appropriate awards for 10 and 15 years of service.
