Maersk Training was founded as the result of a human error in 1978. That error led to an accident that might have been prevented by better training. In a company based on the key value that “no loss should hit us which can be avoided with constant care”, this was not acceptable. The purpose of our company is to improve safety procedures and performance.
Since then, we have added a number of specialized training areas: Maritime, Renewables, Survival, Safety & Security, People Skills, Crane Operation, and Human Resource Services.
Today, Maersk Training is an independent business unit with worldwide training facilities open to all companies.
