What is a Smart-Up?

A Smart-Up is a short online training session (45 minutes) during which you will be introduced to some of the newest topics under discussion in the maritime industry today. Each Smart-Up will be led by an expert in the relevant field and you will have the chance to pose questions at the end. A recording of the session will be provided afterwards so you can watch it again at a later date. 

Below you can view a full sample Smart-Up recording (from September 2017) on Ballast Water Management and Retrofits
