WELCOME TO SEATRAIN!

Seatrain is a South African-based maritime training and education provider and the training partner of choice for several large oil and gas companies looking for a cost-effective, accredited, Africa-based maritime training provider.

Based in Simon’s Town, Cape Town and established in 1999, our main focus is on supporting the development of a sustainable, African skills pipeline by offering a wide range of services, including specialist and short courses as well as STCW training programmes and consultancy services.

All mandatory training and education offered by Seatrain is fully accredited by SAMSA, the South African Maritime Safety Authority, and therefore fully compliant with STCW 2010 (Manila amended) requirements.

We also offer access to courses presented by Seatrain’s parent company, SAMTRA.
