ABOUT SSTG

SSTG Careers Training for Deck, Engineer and ETO Cadets

The Ship Safe Training Group (SSTG) was founded over 40 years ago. We operate as a not-for-profit organisation working with our members who are UK shipping companies to provide a recruitment and training service for their ships’ officers.

We organise and supervise cadet training programmes to provide high quality and progressive training and support throughout their college and sea-based phases for a career in the Merchant Navy.

OUR VISION

SSTG – Passionate about Seafarer Training for the Merchant Navy

At SSTG our ethos is one of setting high standards in the level of training and support we provide for both newcomers to the Merchant Navy and to established seafarers who are wanting to further their careers both at sea and onshore.
