HONG KONG’s Anglo-Eastern’s main training centre in Mumbai recently opened new premises at Leela Business Park in Andheri East, the ship management company announced.
The new training base is home to Anglo-Eastern Maritime Training Centre (AEMTC) Mumbai and the associated partner facilities of MAN PrimeServ, WinGD and W?rtsil?.
After 21 years at its former site, AEMTC Mumbai had outgrown the premises. The relocation to Leela Business Park, located on a single level above Anglo-Eastern’s crewing division, was a welcome opportunity to plan, reorganise and customise the layout and facilities anew, said the company press release.
At 32,000 square feet, the new training centre is of comparable size, but makes more use of the space to house an auditorium that can be rigged into three classrooms, four automation, instrumentation and /hydraulic labs, five navigation simulators, an engine room simulator, a liquid cargo simulator, geared to LNG bunkering as well as a modern cafeteria accommodating 100 people.
Machine workshop training is now available at the Anglo-Eastern Maritime Academy in nearby Karjat.
Said Anglo-Eastern CEO Bjorn Hojgaard: ‘The rejuvenation of our flagship training centre is symbolic of our continued investment in and commitment to lifelong learning, which has been key to Anglo-Eastern’s DNA and success over the years.’
