On 28 November 2015, VDAB Maritieme Opleidingen successfully hosted an MRM Train the Trainer event where a total of 15 maritime practitioners coming from seven different companies actively participated. The one-day training took place at VDAB in Zeebrugge, Belgium in which Mr. Martin Hernqvist from ALL Academy was the main facilitator. There was a lively discussion among the participants regarding different issues concerning leadership and communication onboard the vessels with an emphasis on the master-pilot relationship. A good mix of people with different backgrounds who were very eager to learn and share new ideas contributed to the success of the training.
