Education and training are essential parts of institutional efforts to ensure a safer maritime environment. The contemporary well-indicated trend shows that improvement of maritime safety and security is efficient in a virtual environment using simulations in training process. Simulations should be as much realistic as it is possible in order to increase benefits of training fulfilling IMO regulations and rules of national maritime authorities. Shipborne Simplified Voyage Data Recorders (S-VDRs) need to follow strict requirements of IMO regulations. Maritime safety committee`s resolutions concern the adoption of revised performance standards that are applicable in the training process. Standardized specialized data related to the ship`s safety that are gathered and stored in regard to competent investigation authorities would be useful for improvement trainees` practical skills and knowledge in advance.
