APPROVED TRAINERS BLPS are approved trainers for British Petroleum Technical superintendents who through the nature of their work are obliged to occasionally board vessels at sea.
They have been involved with safety training in this field for over five years and are now actively looking into expanding their services to the wind energy industry. Their members are all fully qualified master
mariners from all aspects of the marine shipping industry who have used their experience/knowledge to run classroom and practical seminars for access from vessels and platforms in the oil and gas industry.

UNIQUE EXPERTS They are the only company that uses the skills of their pilot experts in the field of marine transfer of personnel. With the recent surge of wind-farm activity within Belfast Port, BLPS believe they are in a great position to offer their services as part of a complete customer package to ensure that Belfast becomes a natural hub in the Irish Sea for the wind energy industry.
At BLPS they see themselves as part of a team of providers for this new and dynamic industry and hope to address the safety training needs of school leavers and non maritime personnel, wishing to join the wind energy industry from all over Ireland and beyond.
ASPIRATIONS Our ideal would be to create a training school in the port that specifically addresses the needs of the industry and puts us at the forefront of training in the industry.
