08OCT2019- NEWS - Stream Marine Leads the Market with STCW Approved LNG Training

Glasgow based Stream Marine Training (SMT) was one of the first training providers in the world and the first in the UK, to provide STCW approved courses to teach seafarers how to use LNG as a fuel.

SMT recognised that there was a gap in the market three years ago and capitalized on the increasing popularity of LNG as a fuel by certain sectors of the maritime market to reduce sulphur emissions. This popularity has been steadily increasing, particularly in light of the Sulphur Cap regulations which come into force on the 1st January 2020.

The company has already successfully delivered training to 15 companies made up of around 20 different nationalities, including the crew of the first LNG powered cruise ship. Other stakeholders include governments, industry majors in the cruise, ferry, emergency response & salvage, ports and container sectors.
