In February 2012, the Maritime Department of the Swedish Transport Agency certified that the Maritime Resource Management (MRM) course meets the following sections of the STCW Manila Amendments:

• Table A-II/1 for Bridge Resource Management
• Table A-III/1 for Engine-room Resource Management
• Table A-II/2 and A-III/2 for Use Leadership and Managerial Skills
• Table A-II/1, A-III/1 and A-III/6 for Application of Leadership and Teamworking Skills

Major revisions to the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (the STCW Convention), and its associated Code were adopted at a Diplomatic Conference in Manila, the Philippines, on 21-25 June 2010. The amendments, to be known as “The Manila amendments to the STCW Convention and Code” entered into force on 1 January 2012 with full compliance by 1 January 2017. The amendments aim at bringing the Convention and Code up to date with recent developments and to enable them to address issues that are anticipated to emerge in the foreseeable future.
