Rigworld <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nRigworld Training Centre (RTC), an indigenous
\nGhanaian company has presented an ambulance to the sick bay of the Regional
\nMaritime University (RMU).<\/p>\n
The ambulance, which is estimated to cost over
\n20,000 euros, is fully fitted with modern state of the art equipment and is
\nsaid to be the first-ever to be dedicated to the sick bay of RMU in its 60
\nyears of existence.<\/p>\n
\u00a0The donation
\nof the ambulance comes as a big relief to the university community as it will
\nhelp deal with emergencies in a timely manner.<\/p>\n
Speaking at the presentation ceremony RMU campus,
\nManaging Director of Rigworld Training Centre, Steve Taylor said the donation
\nwas done to support the RMU in the development of its programmes.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cIt gives us an opportunity to help support
\nthem in the development of their programmes, in addition to that it helps them
\nto increase their capabilities in terms of support for their safety and their
\nemergency response so, it is a celebration for RMU in as much as it is a
\ncelebration for Rigworld.\u201d<\/p>\n
Rigworld Training Centre also announced plans were
\nfar advanced to construct a training centre similar to its centre in Takoradi
\nin the premises of RMU.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is happening is that we currently have a
\n10-year memorandum of understanding with RMU after which we have signed a
\ncollaborative agreement in which the parties have made certain pledges to each
\nother. RMU have allocated two acres of land to us to replicate the training
\nfacility we have in Takoradi here on their campus to cater for the Accra
\nmarket. The facility shall also serve all the member states of RMU. We have the
\nfinancial muscles and intend to invest some huge sums putting up that
\nultra-modern training facility,\u201d Kwame Nyampong, a member of the legal team of
\nRigworld Group disclosed.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Vice Dean of
\nthe RMU, Prof. Elvis Nyarko expressed delight at the gesture by the RTC saying
\nthe ambulance will go a long way to prevent the unconventional ways they used
\nin times past to convey their sick and injured persons to nearby health
\nfacilities.<\/p>\n
He said, \u201cActually, we\u2019ve needed it for so
\nlong. Since this sick bay has been here for close to 60 years, this is the
\nfirst time in our history that we are actually having an ambulance dedicated to
\nus.\u201d<\/p>\n
Prof. Nyarko was optimistic the relationship between
\nthe two institutions in developing capacity in offshore training will continue
\nto grow.<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe this is a big first step towards our
\ncollaboration to work together to develop capacities to provide emergency
\nresponse and training to Ghanaians and to other members of West African states
\nand hopefully we can take it further and do much better with the relationship
\nthat we have developed,\u201d the RMU Vice Dean said.<\/p>\n
Rigworld Training Centre recently signed an
\naccreditation partnership with the RMU to train personnel on International
\nMaritime Organization (IMO) regulations. <\/p>\n
The training covers two certified IMO mandatory
\nshort courses for which trainees will be issued with two certificates; one
\njointly signed by RTC and RMU and the other singed by the Ghana Maritime
\nAuthority.<\/p>\n
Among some of the course that would be offered are
\nElementary First Aid, Personal Survival Techniques, Personal Safety and Social
\nResponsibilities as well as Basic Fire Prevention and Fire Fighting.<\/p>\n
Others are International Ship and Port Facility,
\nSecurity Code, Oil\/Chemical Tanker Familiarization, Efficient Deck Hand,
\nLifeboat, Proficiency in Survival Craft Rescue Boat, Radar\/ARPA Simulator
\nTraining as well as International Safety Management.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
