NMCI Training Services recently welcomed JOIFF Director Ed Sullivan and Shaun Baker of Collective Resilience Ltd for a productive exchange of ideas on water-based training.
JOIFF promotes competency-based training and standards for high hazard industries.
The visit provided an opportunity to share maritime training experience and explore a proposed JOIFF-led training standard for small boat operations on inland waterways and offshore, in support of high hazard activities such as oil spill response, equipment transfers, mining operations and search and rescue (SAR).
Topics included multi-craft operations, rough water and swift water handling, vessel stability when carrying operational equipment, battery-powered vessels, and lithium-ion battery hazards.
Discussions also covered region-specific hazards encountered around the globe for example, fouling of propellers and water intakes by kelp, and other aquatic vegetation, alongside hazardous materials, PPE for incident responders, decontamination, firefighting support, and regulatory compliance for waste handling.
Instructor and assessor qualifications and competence were also explored, alongside specialist operational risks and training needs that extend beyond conventional powerboat training.
We look forward to hearing from JOIFF as they share perspectives from other JOIFF-accredited training centres and the wider international network to help inform the development of the proposed standard.

It was our pleasure to welcome 11 officers from Seapeak to the National Maritime College of Ireland (NMCI) last week for an intensive five-day Leadership, Management and Continuous Professional Development (CPD) programme.
This unique, bespoke programme is designed to challenge participants, strengthen leadership skills and develop the confidence to make critical decisions under pressure, particularly in situations where the safety and lives of others may depend on those decisions.
Throughout the week, the officers participated in a demanding combination of practical exercises and scenarios, including firefighting, enclosed space training, Search and Rescue (SAR) Command and Control, Helicopter Underwater Escape Training (HUET) and Working at Heights.
Five days of learning, leading, problem solving and decision making, with teamwork and communication at the heart of every challenge.
At times, the pressure is deliberately intense, with realistic scenarios designed to test leadership, situational awareness, and the ability to make sound decisions in challenging circumstances. Equally important is the trust, support and teamwork developed between participants throughout the programme.
It was also particularly lovely to welcome back one of our own NMCI alumni, now returning to the college as a Seapeak officer.
We would like to thank all participants for their enthusiasm, commitment and engagement throughout a very busy week. We hope you enjoyed your experience at NMCI and take away valuable learning, new perspectives and lasting professional connections.
Thank you to Seapeak for once again placing your trust in NMCI Training Services to support the professional development of your officers.

It's been another busy week at NMCI Training Services.
From bespoke maritime training and advanced simulation studies to STCW courses, firefighting, confined space training and much more, it has been another exceptionally busy week here at the National Maritime College of Ireland.
Our instructors have been doing what they do best, delivering practical, hands on training that prepares maritime professionals for the real challenges they may face at sea and in their working environments.
At NMCI Training Services, realistic training is at the heart of what we do.
Our purpose built, state of the art facilities allow participants to develop and practise essential skills in challenging, realistic conditions. From our environmental pool, capable of simulating wind, rain, waves and storm conditions, to our dedicated fire training facilities, enclosed space training unit and advanced maritime, engine and rescue boat simulators, we provide learning environments that closely reflect the realities of working in the maritime industry.
Whether undertaking mandatory safety training, developing specialist skills or participating in a bespoke programme designed around specific operational requirements, our focus remains the same: delivering high quality, practical training that builds competence, confidence and the ability to respond effectively when it matters most.
A busy week for our instructors and learners, and a great opportunity to showcase the breadth of maritime training delivered here at NMCI.

We are delighted to welcome Susan Brown, the newest member of the NMCI Training Services instructor team.
A proud Cork woman with a strong connection to the water, Susan previously worked with Meitheal Mara, where her role included building traditional Irish currachs, taking groups out rowing and competing in Ocean to City, An Rás Mór, Ireland’s long distance rowing race, which attracts hundreds of participants each year.
Susan now brings her experience and enthusiasm to NMCI Training Services, where she will be delivering training for the offshore renewable energy sector.
She is pictured here during a recent GWO Working at Heights demonstration at NMCI.
We are delighted to have Susan on board and wish her every success in her new role.
Welcome to the team, Susan!

Last week, we were delighted to welcome back retired NS colleague Andrew O'Sullivan, now Head of Drone Operations at Munster Drone Services.
Andrew and the team were at NMCI undertaking hands on training with Flyability and the Elios 3, a cutting edge confined spaces drone designed to gather data in dangerous environments, reducing the need for people to enter these spaces.
The Elios 3 uses a 4K camera alongside a centimetre accurate laser scanner to create 3D models of its surroundings as it flies. This provides critical data on the dimensions and conditions of a space, as well as valuable insights into what, if any, entry into that space may involve.
The Elios 3’s point clouds are digital twins of reality. When combined with 4K video, they show the exact location, size and nature of a defect or area of interest, enabling relevant teams to plan maintenance or determine the appropriate next steps. The quality of the data also supports clear communication while digitising the asset or space.
Our fire training unit provided an excellent environment in which to demonstrate this impressive technology in action.
Many thanks to Andrew, pilot Tiago, Inga and Flyability for sharing this fascinating footage with us.
