VideotelTM, a leading producer and distributor of training videos,
3D animation, and e-Learning courses to the maritime market and
part of KVH Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq:KVHI), has renewed its
contract with Orient Overseas Container Line (OOCL) to supply the
full Videotel On Demand (VOD) and software solutions service.
VOD delivers high-quality, award-winning training materials,
available as an onboard and online e-Learning library, with
accompanying recording and reporting software, making it easy for
crew members to select specific training courses to learn new
skills and develop their careers.
“We take the safety of our people very seriously indeed and with
the VOD service each seafarer’s training programmes can be
monitored to ensure we have competent crew onboard, minimising the
risk of incidents,” says Den Fok, fleet personnel manager of OOCL.
“We view training as a crucial investment to help with crew
retention and encourage career advancement.”
OOCL will take delivery of an additional six 21,000 TEU new
builds in the second half of 2017, making it one of the largest
global container transportation, logistics, and terminal
companies.
The entire OOCL fleet, including the aforementioned new builds,
will be supplied with Videotel’s VOD G2 units, which utilise
cloud-based technology and provide access to a comprehensive
training library of more than 950 titles.
“We are delighted OOCL has agreed to renew its contract with
Videotel for a further four-year period. This shows the value of
the VOD service to companies like OOCL, which takes its training
responsibilities seriously,” says Nigel Cleave, CEO of
Videotel.
