The ECDIS training is compulsory for ships built from 2012. By 1 January 2017 at the latest all ships must be equipped with ECDIS and training given. The Environment and Transport Inspectorate (formerly the Dutch Shipping Inspectorate) has given Alphatron Marine permission for the expansion. Alphatron has invested in four additional simulators so that there is one simulator per participant. Registration From now on you can reserve a training week for 8 people at our headquarters in Rotterdam or register individually, of course. Our website contains the fortnightly training schedule for 2014. There is a possibility that the training frequency will become weekly.
