The Marine Society recently had a pop-up bookshop at the International Maritime Organization’s London headquarters, during its Maritime Safety Committee. More than 1,000 delegates were in attendance to debate new resolutions and recommendations relating to safety at sea.

The Marine Society has been the designated bookshop for IMO and an authorised distributor for 10 years but the pop-up shop represents a new chapter in the Marine Society’s relationship with IMO. The IMO said it was pleased to support the work of Marine Society and its commitment to lifelong learning and the provision of essential maritime regulatory information to all seafarers and IMO delegates.

Marine Society’s Learn@Sea digital education platform has been shortlisted in HIS Markit’s Safety at Sea awards.

The awards recognise those who improve seafarer competence and risk management with innovations and achievements in the fields of training, operations, equipment and services.

The ‘Best Crew Development and Training Programme’ category, in which it has been shortlisted, distinguishes the programmes that
develop seafarer skills and ensure that crew comply with industry best practice and global regulation.

To date, more than 5,200 seafarers have used Marine Society’s Learn@sea platform to help improve the skills they need to fulfil their career ambitions, and to make the ships they sail on safer by improving the communication skills and technical ability of crew.

The winner will be announced in September. To find out more about Learn@Sea, visit: http://atsea.marine-society.org/
