When the working group completes its review early in 2010 the findings will become a reference point for marine, subsea and offshore organisations undertaking training programmes.
EnerMech has particular expertise in offshore crane simulation and recently invested £500,000 on a crane simulator which offers a unique subsea lifting operations capability.
Exclusive to EnerMech, the simulator is a world first and allows the training and assessment of crane operators undertaking subsea lifting operations, in the safety of an onshore controlled environment.
Jennifer Stewart said: "Our exclusive subsea software leads the field compared to other training providers which can only offer platform to vessel simulated training. The IMCA working group is aimed at providing a uniform standard for the training of offshore crane operators using a simulator and we feel we can make a valuable contribution to this important work."
