The Ministry of the Sea, aware of the challenge of vessels, at the moment, to guarantee safety, due to the lack of equipment, has five thousand kits for distribution and a project to train their handling.
“We don't want to have more cases of loss of people at sea. Therefore, in addition to ensuring that they have access to the equipment, it is necessary to know how to use it, which is why we are investing in specific training schools for seafarers”.
