Task 5. Instruct crews and captains in the proper implementation and use of navigation, basic boating, sailing and seamanship skills, principles of sailing and navigation, basic First Aid, Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), and basic communications skills. Training is one of the most important components of the project. Training insures that personnel, on all levels, receive a thorough class room and hands-on field presentation in important navigational skills, emergency medical aid, fire protection, and establish a basic foundation of essential knowledge for safe operation of vessels, equipment, and provide real "hands-on" experience prior to assignment of operational duties. Completion of training courses will be required for authorization to continue working as a crew member or captain on the Caribbean Sea. The primary training goals of marine personnel should be the following: 1. To increase safe operational performance measures for vessels. This factor has a major impact in the present and projected tourists demand and vessel utilization. 2. To provide the means of upgrading and modernizing the basic seamanship skills of individuals, crews, and captains through improved training. |
