In honor of National Maritime Day we’d like to take a moment to thank you for your commitment to the maritime industry!
Mariners power the world’s largest economy and strengthen our ties with trading partners around the world, all while supporting our military forces by shipping troops and supplies wherever they need to go. Not to mention, mariners help keep the public safe during excursions on ferries, cruise ships, etc.
Here at MITAGS, we are dedicated to enhancing the maritime industry through the development of internationally recognized programs dedicated to mariner professionalism and leadership, as well as maritime education, training and safety.
Your hard work and dedication has been especially crucial during this extraordinary time, and we commend all of you! So on this Maritime Day, we thank you and join you in celebrating one of our nation’s most important industries!
Here’s a special message from MITAGS in honor of all those who serve this great industry!

MITAGS launches NAV-SAFE Digital Voyages
MITAGS is starting the new year with the introduction of an exciting new type of training and assessment tool. NAV-SAFE Digital Voyages combine the interaction of a video game with the science of skills assessment. NAV-SAFE is a digital learning product which can be loaded onto a company's Learning Management System (LMS), or accessed via the internet. This means mariners can access the product while working at sea or from home on their time off, without having to travel to a distant training center. NAV-SAFE uses technology drawn from MITAGS's powerful Wärtsilä bridge simulators combined with a polished learning experience developed in association with UK-based KILO Solutions. Participants in a Digital Voyage navigate a ship through a challenging series of interactions with other ships, navigational hazards and weather activity. They make decisions based not only on visual information, but interpretation of data from Radar and ECDIS, and voice communications over VHF radio with other ships, traffic control and their own lookouts.
