Safe operations on a Helideck depend on many factors; it's characteristics, the human factor, (personnel experience and skill, his behavior in a stressed situation, etc.), actual environmental conditions, weather and degree of water area restriction.

An analysis of casualties and accidents show that in one third of all incidents, human error is involved.

The purpose of the above training courses is to gain theoretical and practical knowledge on Helideck management in a wide number of different situations met in practice at sea. We use our own training facilities to provide high quality Helicopter Landing Officer (HLO) and Helideck Assistants (HDAs) training.
