Maritime digital training solutions provider Blue Orange Wave is proud to announce it has won the Crew Connect Global Award for Training and Safety at Sea.
The award is presented to a company, individual or team who have implemented significant technical, procedural, or operational improvements leading to reduction of risk to human life and cargo at sea. Some 21 companies were nominated in this category, with 5 making it to the finals – and Blue Orange Wave coming out on top.
The professional jury designated the Training and Safety at Sea Award as a result of a project that Blue Orange Wave ran with Holland America Line (HAL). Founder Capt. Tim Lodder says: “The project was about implementing a new way of vessel familiarisation for crew. With Edumersive, our immersive VR eLearning solution, new hires can now explore their future assigned ship, learn vital safety protocols, and practice emergency scenarios – anytime, anywhere, on any mobile device.”
Interestingly, it was Crew Connect Global 2023 that brought about last year’s ClassNK Certification for Maritime Training Excellence for the company’s Edumersive Software.
