Successful SCOM courses
In October, the MIA ran two Straddle Carrier Operations and Maintenance (SCOM) courses:
- October 15-16, public course at Savages Wharf, Victoria
- October 22-23, bespoke course at Gold Coast City Marina and Shipyard (GCCM), Queensland
Both courses were a tremendous success, with all participants gaining invaluable skills and knowledge on how to safely and successfully use a straddle carrier.
A big thank you to Savages Wharf and GCCM for hosting the courses and to presenter Neil Dorrington.
