Meriturva Maritime Safety Training Centre aims at improving safety at sea by offering a vast selection of fire and survival training both for professional and amateur seafarers. Meriturva consists of two units, fire training unit in Upinniemi and survival training unit in Lohja.

At Meriturva we conduct STCW and GWO safety courses for maritime professionals and HUET for helicopter crews by highest standards. We train over 4000 people every year. Our learning facilities are among the finest in the world. We make the simulation even more realistic bringing the maritime disaster into a controlled process. That means training in a thrilling but always a safe way.

Our Fire Training unit offers certified basic and advanced fire training for mariners – our main clientele consists of professional seafarers. Some courses are tailor-made to match customer-specific needs.

The superb facilities and authentic equipment of Survival Training unit in Lohja offer a safe way to gain important survival skills. Our 43×27 meter training pool is equipped with adjustable wind, waves, lightning and sound effects, amazingly realistic and challenging. Our HUET and winching helicopter trainers have been a success, trainees coming from many countries like Sweden, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, UK and Norway. For GWO we have a full schedule of courses including new ART-modules.
