RIG & BARGE WORLD
Augmented Reality ( AR ), and Mixed Reality ( MR ). Through realistic VR-based training simulations and interactive experiences , we empower learners to confidently master complex concepts , enhancing their skills in a dynamic and immersive environment .
Our innovative approach ensures that professionals are fully prepared to tackle real-world challenges with confidence and precision .
4 . How do you prepare employees to operate and maintain energy-efficient systems , such as hybrid power systems and carbon capture technologies ?
For the barges without propulsion , it is about proper planning during the rig move operations , allowing for weather conditions , and the kind and number of tugs used . The self-propelled barge crew and officers are being trained on Maersk Training ’ s Jacking and Rig Move simulators to enhance their manoeuvring skills including the use of tugs . This training will consequently result in smoother handling of propulsion units and tug power , which will in turn influence the carbon footprint in the Oil & Gas industry .
5 . What role does Maersk Training play in shaping industry standards for workforce safety ? The Oil & Gas industry continues to evolve each month and year . We believe that focusing on workforce safety and instilling a culture of safety in an organization is a step in the right direction . Some of our key contributions as Maersk Training would be in our commitment to workforce development , offering our comprehensive training programs , and empowering frontline leaders to deliver safe and efficient operations .
6 . How does Maersk ensure compliance with environmental and regulatory standards , particularly in regions like Southeast Asia and the Middle East ?
Maersk Training holds accreditations and approvals with various industry bodies reaffirming our commitment and alignment with world-class benchmarks . Our accreditations include : IWCF ( International Well Control Forum ), IADC ( International Association of Drilling Contractors ), OPITO , American Petroleum Institute , The Nautical Institute , IMO ( International Maritime Organisation ), and the Global Wind Organisation . Maersk Training also upholds its ISO certifications ( 9001 , 14001 , and 45001 ).
7 . What measurable outcomes , such as improved safety metrics or reduced downtime , have you observed from your training programs ?
We can take the example of an Immersive Simulation Environment ( ISE ) program we delivered for a large global operator , with the following outcome :
The collaboration to develop an immersive simulation environment for training purposes has proven highly effective in enhancing safety and operational excellence within the oil and gas industry . The realistic scenarios and practical experiences provided by the training program have enabled personnel to handle complex situations with confidence and reduce risks to people and assets . The company traces successful well operations and efficiency gains directly to our training programs .
8 . How do your training programs support career growth and skill development for roles ranging from drillers to engineers and HSE officers ?
Maersk Training ’ s programs ensure that participants are well-equipped to advance in their skill development and contribute to the company ’ s success ; through our tailored training programs , hands-on practical experience , continuous learning and development , industry certifications , instruction from subject-matter experts , and in leadership development .
9 . What feedback mechanisms are in place to continually improve your training offerings based on employee experiences ?
Each year , we conduct a Customer Satisfaction Survey targeting various stakeholders among our customers . This survey aims to gather feedback on our overall course offerings , service quality , and Net Promoter Score . Additionally , after each training session , participants are encouraged to complete a postcourse evaluation survey , providing us with valuable insights into the delivery of that specific course . We consistently review and update our course materials and methods to ensure they meet the highest standards and deliver a positive learning experience for all participants .
10 . Can you share a recent example of how Maersk Training contributed to solving a critical operational or safety challenge on a jack-up rig ?
Many companies in the Oil & Gas Industry are reluctant to promote their senior officers to Master or Chief Engineer ranks on jackups . They would usually rather hire experienced Master and Chief Engineers from other companies . This is so because the existing job scope of senior officers is vastly different from the actual critical roles of vessel handling / manoeuvring and jacking operations . Maersk Training , with its full mission “ Jacking and Rig Move ” simulator , is providing this competency training in critical operations preparing Senior Officers to step up to become Masters and Chief Engineers , take up overall responsibilities , and address safety challenges .
