Training of crane operators in Santos by Maersk Training Brasil

Maersk Training Brasil is currently carrying out a training programme for Brasil Terminal Portuário (BTP) in the port of Santos, São Paulo.  We are training crane operators on STS (Ship To Shore) and RTG (Rubber Tire Gantry) cranes.  We aim to train approximately 400 crane operators over the course of the project.

As part of this project, Maersk Training Brasil currently has 10 instructors in Santos. Prior to training, candidates undergo a technical assessment on Maersk Training Brasil's AssessSIM portable simulator.  About 200 candidates have been assessed already.

Candidates who pass the technical assessment then receive training on the BTP's ARI simulator.  The first candidates started to undergo training in the beginning of November.

This is also the first time that CENEPE and OGMO Santos have entered into a partnership for the certification of harbour operators for BTP.  Operators who have gone through Maersk Training Brasil's training for BTP are subsequently certified as harbour operators by CENEPE and OGMO Santos.

Maersk Training Brasil is very proud to be part of this partnership programme.  The end result will be a large number of qualified, certified harbour operators able to work in Brazil's most important port.  This in turn will increase operating efficiency and quality.
