S.E.M.S. Training

[Capnklump]

My company has in informed all of it's vessel employees that BOEMRE, formerly MMS has handed down a government mandate of a new set of "requirements" & training (S.E.M.S.) to be satisfied by ALL mariners in the Gulf of Mexico OSV industry. Its a long list of classes, some of which must be done annually, some every 2 years. Has anyone who is working for other companies heard about this requirement? I have not heard about ANYONE talking about this other than the people in our office. I feel they may not be forthcoming concerning this requirement, telling us it is required by all, just so we will not seek employment elsewhere. Any input is appreciated.

Hasn't BOEMRE already changed its name? Remember, offshore regulations are now "dynamic", at least according to the current administration.

Here is an article that I found: http://www.offshore-mag.com/index/ar...e-effects.html
