Offshore crane operator

Retraining course
Objectives1 & 2
Lifting and hoisting loads offshore are dangerous operations, responsible for most of the accidents in the petroleum industry. In this course, it is
intended to retrain experienced crane operators in up-to-dated logistics techniques for improved safety, better maintenance, more efficient op-
erations and pro-active reactions in emergency situations. A practical exercise in a state-of-art simulator dome, allows to apply developed knowl-
edge in real controlled situations.
