Fire fighting field training exercise


Customized in-house and external training

In order to ensure that our fleet is operated by qualified, competent and medically fit seafarers who can perform their duties efficiently, safely and reliably, we have developed specific procedures for the recruitment and training of both on-board and on-shore personnel, in accordance with national and international requirements. Specific areas of training include, but are not limited to:

  • Environmental policy
  • Operational monitoring
  • Contingency procedures
  • Cross-training of personnel
  • Multi-cultural crew management
  • Rules, regulations, and codes
  • Safety & pollution prevention
  • Industry trend awareness
  • Continuing education
  • Personal skills and capabilities

Our manager, Danaos Shipping, conducts ongoing training needs analysis to determine the training needs of both onshore and onboard personnel. Computer-based training programs ensure that our manager’s employees are consistently evaluated and retrained as needed.

The training is targeted towards the specific needs of our crews and office employees and therefore generally employs seminars and training systems (e.g. "Know-Your-Vessel" program) that Danaos Shipping has developed in-house.
