STC – International

STC-Group Holding B.V. is a full subsidiary of the STC-Group, based in Rotterdam, The

Netherlands. The STC-Group comprises on one hand the regular activities connected to

vocational education on various levels, from lower vocational education and secondary school

specialized in the logistic sector, up to the level of BSc Maritime Officer and a Master’s degree

in Transport. On the other hand it offers commercial activities in the field of maritime

professional training, consultancy and operational research. The STC-Group utilizes state-of

the-art simulators and employs a highly skilled and experienced staff of 500 professionals. Most

activities are tailor-made to the specific requirements of the customer. In the year 2000, the

STC-Group was certified by DNV as the first education and training institute in The Netherlands

to obtain the ‘Investor in People’ distinction, and it has kept this quality mark ever since.

STC B.V., a subsidiary of the STC-Group Holding B.V., is located in Rotterdam and activities

core activities of maritime consultancy, operational research and training by combining

advanced simulation with the capabilities of a highly skilled and knowledgeable staff for both

“on location” at those of the client. It is an ISO 9001:2008 certified company. Furthermore STC

B.V. complies with the “DNV GL Standards for Maritime Training Providers” and also develops

and maintains its own bridge simulator system in accordance with DNG GL Class A according

to “DNV GL Standards for Maritime simulator systems” in order to assure the quality of both our

training and simulators. In addition, the Dutch Ministry of Transport has certified the simulators

and several training courses of STC B.V.

Consultancy, Operational Research and Training

Within the field of Consultancy STC-Group Holding B.V. offers services for both nautical and

shore-based needs.

Within the field of Operational Research STC-Group specialises in the following: Port

Within the field of Training, STC-Group concentrates on both nautical and shore related training

and education. STC-Group offers an in depth curriculum of proficiency training, backed by

refresher courses.

Emergency Response Training, STC-KNRM provides her clients with on-board/on location

training and consultancy and/or audits on various aspects of maritime safety, including fast craft

STC-International – worldwide activities

The development of foreign activities is one of the goals and priorities of the STC-Group. Next

to the intrinsic motivation to offer public facilities in the areas of education and training to

developing countries in a drive to improve transport and maritime knowledge and competencies

in these countries, whilst at the same time, the strategy to strengthen the STC-Group’s internal

basis also applies in this case and serves as a point of departure. An increasing number of

clients in our portfolio are operating worldwide and want to have the same educational and

training levels existing in Europe.

STC-International operates joint venture training institutes in Vietnam, Philippines, Oman and

South Africa, Namibia, Mozambique as well as Kenya to mention only a few. Most of the

institutes are equipped with the same simulators and training facilities as in Rotterdam. In the

near future STC will expand their activities in other parts of the world. Activities executed in

these training centres are not only courses on transport and shipping management, but also

short courses such as Bridge Resource Management, Engine room Resource Management,

Ship Handling and safety courses.

6

Furthermore, long-term contracts are in place with a number of international partners. One

example is the cooperation with the Kazakh-British Technical University in Almaty, Kazakhstan.

STC-Group is responsible for managing the Kazakhstan Maritime Academy (KMA). STC-Group

provides the professional teaching staff for maritime subjects and provides consultancy in

related fields such as Maritime Simulators, Workshops and apprenticeship of KMA cadets.

Examples of international projects are:

a. In conjunction with the Royal Dutch Ship-owners Association (KVNR), the STC-Group supports a maritime academy in the Philippines and manages a nautical training centre: Netherlands Shipping Training Centre (NSTC). This centre, located in Palompon, provides maritime courses and practical nautical training in accordance with the guidelines of the STCW Convention and supplies hundreds of young officers to the Dutch merchant navy each year. This location provides facilities that can be deployed for trainings such as basic firefighting, basic fire protection, personal safety et cetera. It also houses a set of Kongsberg bridge and ECDIS simulators;

b. The Kazakhstan Maritime Academy (KMA), located in Almaty, Kazakhstan, is an initiative by Tengizchevroil (a consortium of oil companies), the Kazakh British University and the STC-Group. The KMA was founded to meet the increasing demand for well-educated and qualified seafarers for the growing tanker fleet operating in the Caspian Sea, the Black Sea and other seas. In 2011, the STC-Group won the international requested tender and took the lead in the development of the maritime education of the KMA. The KMA academic program started in August 2012. The STC-Group is responsible for the four-year educational program and the advanced Kongsberg bridge, engine room and cargo handling simulators. All nautical and technical courses are delivered in English and taught by STC teachers. Furthermore, the STC-Group is developing an extensive train-the-trainer program to educate local teachers.

c. Founded in 2005, IMCO (International Maritime College Oman) is a joint venture between the Oman government and the STC-Group Holding. IMCO offers Bachelor’s-level courses for navigation (helmsman and marine engineer), logistics (including port logistics) and the processing industry. IMCO is the only educational institution in the Gulf Region to offer a complete package of courses for navigation, logistics and the port-based processing industry. Since February 2016, STC-Group’s Netherlands Maritime University (NMU) offers a full-time Master of Science Shipping and Transport in Oman.

d. Maritime Education and Human Resource Center (UT-STC) located in Ho Chi Minh City; Vietnam was founded in 2005 and became fully operational in 2006 when the bridge-, cargo- and engine room simulators were installed. UT-STC is a modern, well equipped training Center with 4 DNV approved full mission bridge simulators, a cargo simulator, an engine room simulator and computer based training facilities. Both the cargo and engine room simulators were delivered by Kongsberg Maritime. Furthermore there are training facilities available for firefighting and lifesaving courses as required under STCW.

e. During its entire existence, STC-Group has not only been training its own teachers and

instructors proper didactical teaching methods, course development and training methods with and without simulators. It has also been providing future (STCW) instructors with didactical courses all over the world, including courses following the IMO model courses for Train the Instructor (6.09); Train the Simulator Trainer and Assessor (6.10); and Train the Assessor (3.12). Participants in these courses came from i.e. the Netherlands, Colombia, Kazakhstan, the Philippines, Oman, Brazil, Vietnam and Georgia.

Educational model

To do this STC-Group always works according to its educational model, in which not only the

learning objective is acknowledged, but also the way different people learn. This results in

courses specifically tailored to the target group, building up the knowledge using first theory and

gradually using more interactive and complicated equipment. Eventually this will result in the

use of full mission simulators or training facilities in which all competencies can be tested and

trained in an integrated manner.

STC- Southern Africa

subsidiary company of the internationally renowned, STC-International based in The
