Cloud-based solutions
Wärtsilä Voyage and OTG will provide industry stakeholders the opportunity to be connected on a single end-to-end learning journey, combining on-demand digital training and assessment, virtual and simulation events via cloud-based solutions, and in-person learning experiences at maritime training centres or aboard ship.
