ISF LAUNCHES NEW ONBOARD TRAINING BOOK FOR DECK CADETS
The International Shipping Federation (ISF), which has stated that Maritime safety and environmental protection depends on capable deck officers, has updated its widely-used On Board Training Record Book for Deck Cadets, to meet latest requirements governing seafarers’ training.
ISF Secretary General, Peter Hinchliffe said: “The competence of deck officers is critical to safety and environmental protection. The updated ISF Book enables cadets and their companies to monitor and evaluate their onboard training in a structured manner in accordance with the new STCW Convention requirements.”
New regulations set out in the 2010 amendments to the IMO STCW Convention controlling seafarers’ training standards came into force in January 2012. Use of a training record book providing evidence of structured onboard training is mandatory for trainees seeking to qualify as ships’ officers, and the ISF books are referred to as a model in the footnotes to STCW 2010. The STCW 2010 standards must be applied to new trainees from July 2013.
The revised publication is the third in a series of updated ISF training record books following the recent publication of revised On Board Training Record Books for both Deck and Engine Ratings which address the new STCW grade of Able Seafarer. A revised On Board Training Record Book for Engine Cadets will be published later this year.
The new ISF Book for Deck Cadets contains structured onboard training tasks formulated around the revised standards stipulated by STCW 2010, including new competences such as use of Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS), application of leadership and team working skills and proactive measures to protect the marine environment.
As the principal international employers’ organisation for ship operators, representing national shipowners’ associations and some 80% of the world merchant fleet, ISF wishes to ensure that deck cadets make the best use of their seagoing service.
ISF is currently in discussion with the Philippines and other important seafarer supply countries to ensure the use of ISF Books are approved as a part of their national STCW certification process.
“Many shipping companies are training cadets across their fleets from more than one country and it is important that they are able to use a standard international book” said Mr Hinchliffe.

ISF发布新版船上甲板部培训记录簿
国际航运联合会（ISF）认为，海上安全与环境保护决定于甲板部高级船员的能力，为此他们更新了广泛使用的“船上甲板部高级船员培训记录簿”部分内容来满足最新的船员管理培训要求。
ISF秘书长Peter Hinchliffe说：“驾驶员的能力对于安全与环境保护起关键性作用，升级后的ISF 手册能使受训学员和他们的公司来监控和评估他们的在船培训的方式与培训组织形式是按照最新STCW规则相关要求进行。”
IMO STCW海员管理大会中规定的2010年STCW公约最新修正案，关于海员培训标准的规定于2012年1月生效。使用ISF培训记录簿能够提供船上已对高级船员进行有组织的培训使其符合强制培训要求的证据,并且ISF培训手册的要求被认为是对STCW 2010公约进行科学阐释的典范。从2013年7月起，船员培训必须要按STCW 2010新标准进行。
修订后出版的ISF培训记录簿是该系列的第3次更新，紧随着甲板部高级船员培训记录簿的出版，用于提升机舱高级船干符合STCW新规的培训的记录簿也将在今年迟些时候发行。
用于甲板部船员培训的新版ISF手册，包含了STCW 2010规定的船上组织培训的任务规划和审查标准，包括新能力的获取如ECDIS使用，领导能力的应用，团队合作精神和积极主动的采取措施,保护海洋环境。
作为国际上重要的船舶操作者雇主组织,代表多国船东协会和世界上约80%的商船船队,ISF希望，手册规定的培训能确保甲板部学员在船服务期间发最大的作用。
ISF正在与菲律宾和其他重要海员输出国讨论，确保其使用ISF手册作为STCW证书培训的重要一部分，使手册的用处得到验证。
“很多航运公司正在培训的船队船员可能来自不同的国家，但给他们提供一个统一标准的培训手册非常重要” Mr Hinchliffe如是说。
