Launching a one-stop portal for crew training

The new myBruusgaard portal combines training, testing, and certification into one digital solution.

Captains, vessel managers, and safety officers carry more responsibility than ever. New equipment, tighter regulations, and rapid technological change have made oversight more complex, while time and resources remain limited.

Training and certification are essential for safe operations. They ensure that every crew member has the competence to use the appropriate tools, operate critical systems, and make sound decisions at sea. But as crews rotate and systems multiply, maintaining that overview becomes increasingly tricky.

The new myBruusgaard Portal is designed to ease that burden, making it more straightforward to train, verify, and plan for optimal safety.

The challenge of keeping track

In our recent article, When training gets lost in rotation, we discussed how easily oversight can fade when competence tracking relies on too many moving parts. For many, the challenge of not knowing exactly who knows what remains the same today.

For management, it often comes down to a few simple but critical questions:

• What training has each crew member completed?
• Which competencies are in place across vessels?
• Who needs a refresh, and when?

These questions sit at the core of safety management. Every vessel operator wants to know that the right people have the proper knowledge at the right time. Yet, in practice, those answers can be challenging to find. Information exists, but not in one clear place. The result is uncertainty, more manual work, and less time for proactive safety management.

That is the challenge myBruusgaard is built to solve.

How to manage crew training

The myBruusgaard Portal brings together training, testing, and certification in a single, connected system explicitly designed for maritime operations. It replaces scattered processes with a single platform that supports safety management from onboarding to accreditation.

For crews, it means easier access to essential training. Courses and tests can be completed directly in the portal, even with poor connectivity, and diplomas are issued automatically. The process is straightforward and reliable, ensuring that competence follows every crew member wherever they go.

For managers, it means visibility and confidence. The portal gives a clear, up-to-date view of training progress and certification across all vessels: who is qualified, who needs a refresh, and where competence gaps exist. That makes it easier to plan rotations, assign responsibilities, and ensure every vessel sails with the competence required for safe operations.

The portal also reduces administrative work. Ordering test licenses, managing users, and tracking completion all happen in one flow. Less time is spent on follow-up and coordination, and more time can be dedicated to maintaining and improving safety standards.

Tested and trusted at sea

The development of myBruusgaard has been driven by one purpose: to make it easier for maritime companies to operate safely. That purpose guided every design decision, and the process was built on real feedback from those who work at sea.

Hundreds of seafarers, captains, and administrators have tested the system, provided input, and helped refine it through real-world use. Every feature, like responsive phone optimization, exists because someone offshore said, “We need this to be easier.”

In short, myBruusgaard saves time, strengthens oversight, and helps ensure that every crew member, on every vessel, has the competence needed for safe and reliable operations.

For crews, it means easier access to essential training.
For managers, it means more control and less administration.
For everyone, it means optimal safety with minimal effort.
