Framework
The development of maritime economic activities, in particular those related to maritime transport, fishing and the exploitation of marine resources, has been promoting the employment at sea, whilst creating key issues such as the availability of properly qualified human resources to deal with the greater economic and legal requirements.

In this sector, the seafarers are a key factor in the effectiveness and efficiency of operations, being operational and occupational safety as a priority issues in the success of a professional activity with high levels of risk and danger. Therefore, the different national and international regulatory instruments of this activity provide for and require, as a prerequisite for the exercise of any role on board, training requirements, knowledge and skills in the fields of safety at work, security, personal survival techniques, operation of equipment, as well as the observance of personal and social responsibilities.
