This helps to increase safety and operational performance of the crane operators.

Maersk Training senior crane instructor Andrew Monie said: "Candidates with little experience as well as more seasoned crane operators will greatly improve their knowledge and ability to operate an offshore crane both safely and efficiently."

In November 2015, the company opened its new offshore simulation complex in Houston, US, to provide training for oil and gas industry personnel.

Training would be provided for offshore rig crews to be prepared before engaging in the actual operation to increase safety and save time.
