E-Learning and Training Packages
Learning Resources
This page provides access to e-learning courses and related materials on energy efficiency and alternative fuels and technologies, to support and promote the implementation of the 2023 IMO GHG Strategy.
Please note that these courses and materials are not IMO instruments. Member States and stakeholders are encouraged to follow the ongoing development of training provisions for seafarers working on ships using alternative fuels and new technologies under the Maritime Safety Committee.
E-Learning Course on Energy Efficient Ship Operation
A general introduction into better understanding how the maritime industry can reduce its environmental carbon footprint through practical measures to save energy on board. This e-learning course has been developed by the Low Carbon GIA under Greenvoyage2050.
E-Learning Course on Energy Saving at Sea
Primarily aimed at seafarers, this course covers detailed practical measures that can be taken by the engine department and deck department on board ships to save energy in their day-to-day operations. This e-learning course has been developed by the Low Carbon GIA under Greenvoyage2050.
Workshop Package on Alternative Fuels
Workshop package, developed by GreenVoyage 2050, exploring various alternative fuels and energy carriers for the maritime sector, including those that are commercially available as well as currently under development. The workshop considers potential production pathways, emission reduction potential, infrastructure and onboard requirements, as well as implications on cost.
IMO-RoK GHG SMART Training Programme
The GHG SMART Training Programme aims to support the implementation of the 2023 IMO GHG Strategy by initiating capacity-building activities for SIDS and LDCs through a series of training courses and industry visits, with the purpose of building sufficient human capacity in these countries. The GHG training course is being delivered through the IMO LMS Moodle, which is used as a repository of the training materials and to submit assignments. This training programme has been developed by the GHG SMART project.
CrewWIND – Training Course on Wind Propulsion for Ships
The CrewWIND online training course aims to make trainees familiar with the operation of wind-powered vessels. This online training has been developed by the French Maritime Academy (ENSM) with the help of the International Windship Association in the framework of DIGI4MER, a project partly funded by the French State, the Region Pays de la Loire and supported by maritime companies.
Resources for Seafarers and Industry on Decarbonization
The Maritime Just Transition Task Force (MJTTF) has developed training frameworks to guide maritime education and training institutions in designing programmes that prepare crews to safely operate vessels powered by alternative fuels.
These resources include basic and advanced training frameworks and handbooks for ammonia, hydrogen and methanol as marine fuels.
