Looking to get started in marine engineering? AEC1 could be your first step ⚙️

The five-day MCA Approved Engine Course 1 gives you practical experience working with marine engines and the systems that keep vessels running, with no formal engineering prerequisites required to get started.

It’s not only for aspiring engineers either. AEC1 can also be a valuable qualification for deck crew looking to broaden their skills and open up more opportunities onboard.

Our latest guide covers what AEC1 is, who needs it, what you’ll learn and what comes next.

Things were heating up as normal at the fireground this week 🔥

A new array of delegates embarked on their STCW Basic Safety Training; a week-long course that prepares them for life at sea.

Our instructor, Neil, took them through the training step by step before they each had the opportunity to tackle an active blaze.

A question came up during our recent EV Battery Fires webinar: has Stream Marine actually recreated a battery fire at the training site? The answer is yes 🔥

We have set off personal devices like laptops and battery banks and worked through them with Lith-X extinguishers alongside a firefighter and the manufacturer developing that equipment. Right now the site has a car set up as a mock station, so crew and anyone taking the training can get up close to a vehicle fire and gain real hands-on experience of approaching it and working out how to bring it under control safely.

If you'd like to be battery fire prepared, our new Battery Fire Course has dates available now: https://cstu.io/26e18f

Our August offer is now live, and availability will not last. Book your Basic IGF Code training (BIGF) for an August 2026 date and you will receive Advanced IGF Code training (AIGF) at half price.

The IGF Code sits at the centre of safe operation aboard vessels using LNG and other low flashpoint fuels, so completing both stages together gives officers and ratings the full basic-to-advanced grounding in a single booking. It is the most cost-effective way to build that competency before the remaining places are taken.

Spaces are strictly limited, and the discount applies to direct bookings only. To secure yours, call the team today on 0141 212 8777 📞

Worked in oil and gas in the last two years and living in Scotland? Skills Development Scotland could fund your move into a new sector.

The Oil and Gas Transition Training Fund covers the cost of industry-recognised courses that get you into clean energy, renewables and beyond. If offshore wind is where you're headed, that means GWO training, which is what wind operators expect before you set foot on a turbine. Your experience already transfers. This is the training that makes it count.

We run the full GWO suite at our training centre at Glasgow Airport. We've put together a guide on how the fund works and who's eligible.

How many lithium-ion batteries are on a cruise ship at any one time?

More than you'd think. Every cabin has phones, laptops, vapes and power banks charging away, plus the occasional folding e-bike or mobility scooter. Across a full deck, that's thousands of individual cells.

That matters because a battery fire behaves nothing like the fires evacuation plans were built around. Thermal runaway burns hotter, produces toxic smoke quickly and can reignite well after it appears to be out, exactly where passengers need clear escape routes.

Many operators are already taking action, with some passenger vessels now asking for e-scooters and similar devices to be stored in fireproof containers. The next step is making sure crews understand the risk as well as the equipment does. Our Battery Fire Course gives maritime personnel a proper grounding in the hazards of carrying electric vehicles and lithium-ion batteries by sea.

Chances are you know someone thinking about a change from hospitality. The friend working restaurant shifts, the family member on a hotel front desk, someone brilliant with people who's ready for something new.

Here's what they might not realise: those skills transfer almost directly to a cruise ship or superyacht. Reading guests, anticipating their needs, staying calm when it's all kicking off, delivering a flawless service. That's exactly what the passenger side of maritime runs on.

The only real barrier is safety training, and STCW Basic Safety Training is built for people with no seafaring background.

We've put together a guide on making the move from hospitality to the high seas. If someone springs to mind, send it their way.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

There's a point on every BOSIET course where the training gets real, usually around the HUET and emergency breathing drills. It's the part delegates worry about most, and it's exactly where good instruction counts.

This lovely review from Janardhan sums up what we're aiming for. Nicole explained each exercise clearly, made sure everyone understood the safety procedures before getting in the water, and stayed patient and encouraging the whole way through. Our pool support staff got a well-earned mention too, for keeping a close eye on everyone in the water at every stage.

Thank you, Janardhan - great to hear!

More electric vehicles are being carried by sea every year, and a battery fire on a vehicle deck behaves nothing like the fires most crews are trained to fight.

This course gives maritime personnel the understanding they need to recognise, assess and respond to battery-related incidents safely. It covers lithium-ion technology, thermal runaway, the warning signs of battery failure and the particular challenges EV fires present onboard, drawing on current industry guidance and the lessons learned from significant real-world incidents. It also looks at the smaller devices that come aboard every day, from personal electronics to e-bikes and e-scooters. Practical elements cover safe approach techniques, suppression methods, tactical decision-making and post-fire management, including contamination control and decontamination.

Aimed at seafarers, company representatives, port personnel and anyone involved in handling or overseeing electric vehicles and lithium-ion cargoes.

Lithium-ion batteries are everywhere onboard 🔥

From phones and laptops to cameras and power banks, passengers bring thousands of battery-powered devices onboard every voyage.

Most are safe, but when a failure occurs, a small battery fire in a passenger area can quickly become a serious safety challenge.

We explore the growing risk of lithium-ion battery incidents on cruise ships and ferries, and why crew awareness matters ⚓
