Marlow Navigation has partnered with Green Marine to expand crew training and support the maritime industry’s transition to methanol and other alternative fuels.
The partnership builds on two years of successful collaboration focused on low-flashpoint fuel training, during which Marlow became a fully accredited IGF (STCW) training provider in the Philippines.
Green Marine, known for its leading role in methanol-as-marine-fuel projects, will advise and train Marlow’s clients and crews on the design, handling, and operation of methanol-fuelled engines, as well as LNG, ethanol, and ammonia systems in the future.
With Green Marine’s support, Marlow will provide simulator and face-to-face training in the Philippines, soon extending to Europe, and will offer blended online courses using Green Marine’s resources in Singapore and China.
“We (Marlow) have always seen training as a vital part of our service when offering crew and technical management. The cooperation agreement between Green Marine provides Marlow Navigation with access to the expertise on alternative fuels. It further enhances our ability to provide customised solutions to our customers whilst strengthening the qualification of our crews,” said General Manager, Marlow Navigation, Joern Clodius.
“At Green Marine, our mission has always been to bridge the knowledge gap between today’s conventional operations and tomorrow’s clean-fuel reality,” added CEO of Green Marine, Fredrik Stubner. “This partnership with Marlow allows us to expand our global network of maritime professionals and apply more than a decade of direct experience in methanol and other low-flashpoint fuels to a new generation of seafarers.”
