Continuing professional development that builds genuine compliance competence across your organisation. When the regulator asks questions, when your principal wants assurance, when the counterparty needs confidence in your operations — your people should know the answer, not need to find it. Industry CPD develops that capability.
Maritime compliance is not a box-ticking exercise — it is a professional discipline that demands genuine understanding. The difference between a team that holds certificates and a team that holds competence becomes apparent the moment real scrutiny arrives. Industry CPD is structured for maritime professionals who need to operate confidently across regulatory frameworks worldwide — not because they were told to attend a course, but because their role demands they understand what compliance actually requires and why it matters.
Developing competence in anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing frameworks as they apply to the maritime sector. Customer due diligence methodologies, suspicious matter identification, reporting obligations, and the regulatory expectations that differ between jurisdictions. Includes Australia's Tranche 2 reforms (effective July 2026), EU Anti-Money Laundering Directives, and the FATF standards that underpin them all.
Understanding the structures behind the structures. How multi-layered vessel ownership works, why it exists, and how to verify beneficial ownership across jurisdictions that take very different approaches to transparency. Practical competence in conducting and interpreting due diligence — whether your role requires you to commission it, review it, or act on its findings.
How sanctions regimes work in practice, not just in regulation. OFAC, EU, UK, and UN frameworks, restricted zone identification, vessel tracking interpretation, and the operational decisions that determine whether a transit, a transaction, or a business relationship creates sanctions exposure. Competence that matters when your vessel is approaching a decision point, not after it has passed one.
The regulatory landscape governing international crew employment across flag states and port states. MLC obligations, credential verification standards, employment compliance frameworks, and the practical differences between jurisdictions. Developing the competence to manage personnel compliance proactively — ensuring your operations withstand scrutiny from any direction.
ISM Code compliance, safety management systems, and the designated person ashore function for foreign-flagged vessels operating globally. Understanding the regulatory expectations, audit preparation, incident response coordination, and the operational competence that distinguishes organisations that manage safety from those that merely document it.
Tailored CPD programmes built around your organisation's specific regulatory exposure, jurisdictional footprint, and operational context. Delivered via the secure Client Portal with embedded learning modules, assessment, and completion certification. Structured for management companies, family offices, brokerage firms, and vessel crews who need competence that reflects their actual operating environment.
Industry CPD is built on a straightforward principle: when your people are genuinely competent, everything else follows. Regulatory audits become confirmations, not discoveries. Conversations with principals become demonstrations of capability, not admissions of uncertainty. Counterparty due diligence becomes an opportunity to impress, not a scramble to prepare. We develop the competence that makes your organisation look exactly as capable as it needs to be — because it actually is.
