PRESS RELEASE - Maritime Just Transition Task Force launches first interim seafarer training frameworks for the use of ammonia, methanol and hydrogen as fuel
The Maritime Just Transition Task Force (MJTTF) has released industry-first training frameworks designed to facilitate the development of training programmes for seafarers for working on ships powered by ammonia, methanol and hydrogen.
The training frameworks address the needs of seafarers in entry-level or operational roles and senior officers. They are accompanied by comprehensive instructor handbooks.
All material is accessible here: mjttf.org
The MJTTF will also release guidelines for general familiarisation programmes, aimed at seafarers and key shore-based personnel, who are not specifically covered by the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers, 1978 (1978 STCW Convention).
The publicly available MJTTF training frameworks will help regulators and maritime administrations set the criteria for the development of training programmes and the establishment of certification schemes and competency validation mechanisms for seafarers, including classroom education, simulation-based performance assessments and sea-time training.
