Ocean Technologies Group (OTG) and ChartWorld, one of the largest international specialist digital navigation providers, have signed an agreement to deliver ChartWorld\u2019s \u201cOn-board Familiarisation System\u201d (OFS) on OTG\u2019s Ocean Learning Platform (OLP).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Created by ChartWorld\u2019s team of master mariners, the OFS is a three hour e-learning course designed to provide every nautical officer with optimal support and training in the use of ChartWorld\u2019s ECDIS eGlobe G2.<\/em><\/strong> OFS is designed to give crew the knowledge they require to operate the ECDIS safely, even with little to no prior knowledge of this specific equipment. It also supports the crew to prepare for navigational audits and vettings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis partnership is another example of our vision to work together with key Industry players for the benefit of our mutual customers,\u201d said Johan Gustafsson, OTG\u2019s Chief Revenue Officer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWith the growing pressure on our seafarers and the knowledge capital required of them to operate safely and remain competitive, it is essential that vendors collaborate to solve common problems,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis is another great addition to our learning library. Customers are increasingly looking for joined-up solutions to competency building and being able to blend generic and type-specific material in a single programme of learning makes everybody\u2019s lives easier. As part of the Ocean Learning Platform, it\u2019s not only possible to access and record the ChartWorld learning, but to build it into digital competency management workflows that track the achievement of real world proficiencies,\u201d said Raal Harris, Chief Creative Officer for Ocean Technologies Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cEven our most easy to use ECDIS in the market will require some Operator training to maintain safe navigation at all times, since the bridge team is challenged with a variety of makers of this essential tool for passage planning and execution. OTG and ChartWorld have a significant overlapping customer base and this new agreement will add our OFS ECDIS training content to the Ocean Learning Platform, making it more effective and convenient for use by operators on-board and the crew management ashore,\u201d added Ralf Lehnert, Director Navigation Solutions for ChartWorld.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ocean Technologies Group (OTG) and ChartWorld, one of the largest international specialist digital navigation providers, have signed an agreement to deliver ChartWorld\u2019s \u201cOn-board Familiarisation System\u201d (OFS) on OTG\u2019s Ocean Learning Platform (OLP).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":633,"template":"","meta":[],"news-category":[20],"class_list":["post-632","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","news-category-navigation"],"meta_box":{"single_post_featured":[{"width":150,"height":150,"file":"2022\/10\/OFS-OTG_0.jpeg","filesize":445776,"sizes":{"medium":{"file":"OFS-OTG_0-300x188.jpeg","width":300,"height":188,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":69101,"url":"\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/OFS-OTG_0-300x188.jpeg"},"large":{"file":"OFS-OTG_0-1024x643.jpeg","width":1024,"height":643,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":509608,"url":"\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/OFS-OTG_0-1024x643.jpeg"},"thumbnail":{"file":"OFS-OTG_0-150x150.jpeg","width":150,"height":150,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":31380,"url":"\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/OFS-OTG_0-150x150.jpeg"},"medium_large":{"file":"OFS-OTG_0-768x483.jpeg","width":768,"height":483,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":316000,"url":"\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/OFS-OTG_0-768x483.jpeg"},"1536x1536":{"file":"OFS-OTG_0-1536x965.jpeg","width":1536,"height":965,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":961205,"url":"\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/OFS-OTG_0-1536x965.jpeg"},"2048x2048":{"file":"OFS-OTG_0-2048x1287.jpeg","width":2048,"height":1287,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":1566008,"url":"\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/OFS-OTG_0-2048x1287.jpeg"},"image-480":{"file":"OFS-OTG_0-480x302.jpeg","width":480,"height":302,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":147340,"url":"\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/OFS-OTG_0-480x302.jpeg"},"image-640":{"file":"OFS-OTG_0-640x402.jpeg","width":640,"height":402,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":236374,"url":"\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/OFS-OTG_0-640x402.jpeg"},"image-720":{"file":"OFS-OTG_0-720x452.jpeg","width":720,"height":452,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":285347,"url":"\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/OFS-OTG_0-720x452.jpeg"},"image-960":{"file":"OFS-OTG_0-960x603.jpeg","width":960,"height":603,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":460909,"url":"\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/OFS-OTG_0-960x603.jpeg"},"image-1168":{"file":"OFS-OTG_0-1168x734.jpeg","width":1168,"height":734,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":627645,"url":"\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/OFS-OTG_0-1168x734.jpeg"},"image-1440":{"file":"OFS-OTG_0-1440x905.jpeg","width":1440,"height":905,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":881153,"url":"\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/OFS-OTG_0-1440x905.jpeg"},"image-1920":{"file":"OFS-OTG_0-1920x1206.jpeg","width":1920,"height":1206,"mime-type":"image\/jpeg","filesize":1406515,"url":"\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/OFS-OTG_0-1920x1206.jpeg"}},"image_meta":{"aperture":"0","credit":"","camera":"","caption":"","created_timestamp":"0","copyright":"","focal_length":"0","iso":"0","shutter_speed":"0","title":"","orientation":"0","keywords":[]},"ID":"633","name":"OFS-OTG_0.jpeg","path":"\/var\/www\/cw-web\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/OFS-OTG_0.jpeg","url":"\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/OFS-OTG_0-150x150.jpeg","full_url":"\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/OFS-OTG_0.jpeg","title":"OFS-OTG_0","caption":"","description":"","alt":"","srcset":false}]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/632","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/633"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=632"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"news-category","embeddable":true,"href":"\/web\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news-category?post=632"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
