Anglo-Eastern Group has long been represented in Odessa by three crewing agencies: Integrated Transport Services (ITS), UNIVIS, and Singh Marine Management. Over the past few years the number of seafarers joining the Anglo-Eastern Group from Ukraine has been consistently increasing and is currently about 1500 seafarers. To meet this demand and to ensure that the top quality officers are recruited and trained for Anglo-Eastern Group managed vessels, the company has set up its own manning and training centre at a convenient location in central Odessa in September 2009.

We should note that Anglo-Eastern Training in Odessa started in 2008 with two courses: Port State Control and Crew Safety. Now our Training Centre conducts a wide range of maritime courses, many of which are developed in close cooperation with shipboard officers, ship superintendents, ship operators and maritime community in accordance with the latest industry standards. All courses bring in a large element of practical knowledge and shipboard case study studies to enhance the application of the knowledge in a real ship type environment.

At the moment for our crew we provide the following courses:

1. Bridge Team Management	14. Leadership
2. Engine Room Team Management	15. Ocean Manager-Knowledge Management System
3. MARPOL Implementation	16. Planned Maintenance System
4. Port State Control	17. SMMS - Ship Maintenance and Management System

The training system operates on a unique “Feed-Back” system. Most of training courses available are born of the result of Anglo-Eastern Superintendents reviews of our crew’s performance, and from the analysis of the internal / external audits and inspections.
