BUILDING COMPETENT CREW

The cornerstone of CFY INTERNATIONAL success is its competent seafarers.

Building the competence of the seafarers starts with defining the knowledge, skill and behavior required for seafarers to perform onboard tasks safely and successfully.

With more than 30 years in the business, CFY INTERNATIONAL has built up best practices in effectively operating different vessel types and these best practices are incorporated in the competency standards and aligned with industry standards such as SIRE 2.0, BCAV, Rightships and IMCA requirements.

These CFY INTERNATIONAL competency standards are embedded in a framework for continuously assessing, verifying and enhancing the competencies of the seafarers called the CFY INTERNATIONAL Competence Management System (CMS).

With CMS in place, CFY INTERNATIONAL can easily identify seafarers with the competencies required to operate each of the vessels in our fleets or close out the competence gaps identified through training, onboard coaching and mentoring.

CMS is also a crucial component of our seafarers’ development programs such as the Future Leaders program, Vessel Cross-training programs and the Catering Education program. These seafarers’ development programs are essential in meeting the crew requirements of new vessels joining the CFY INTERNATIONAL fleet.

As the CFY INTERNATIONAL competency standards are updated regularly in response to new legislation, new technology on board or new best practices learned from other industries, CFY INTERNATIONAL seafarers will always have the competencies to safely and effectively operate our customers’ vessels today and in the future.
