SSTL delivers two recognized standards of marine training, STCW 95 and the specific domestic (Transport Canada) crew safety certification, to meet the needs of vessels of different sizes with different safety equipment requirements and the needs of clients operating in Canadian or other jurisdictions.
The domestic vessel safety certification stream includes the smaller vessels which are limited in the distance they can operate from shore or do not carry a lifeboat or rescue boat and or do not carry breathing apparatus for firefighting.
