Maritime Studies

The Maritime Studies Department, on its own pier in Stromness, has been training seafarers for over 50 years.

Many of our instructors are serving seafarers who provide training at the department when onshore leave. This is complimented by our in house team.

We are always developing and revising the courses we provide and at the moment are working to offer a range of short courses which are relevant and meet the needs of the latest regulations. As well as providing courses for the fishing and merchant-marine sectors we are developing training in the growing renewables industry. Our renewables programme aims to train not only mariners but also to address the health and safety needs of technicians and researchers.
