Teaching IALA Model Course 1.3 Use of the IALA Risk Management Tools
As part of the official programme of IALA Model Course 1.3 – Use of the IALA Risk Management Tools course held from 23 to 26 June 2025 at the Portuguese Navy Hydrographic Institute, Almarin had the pleasure of welcoming participants to the Lindley facilities in Cascais.
The course was organized by IALA.
During the technical visit, students had the opportunity to learn first-hand about some of the facilities that Almarin, in collaboration with Lindley, offers in the field of marine aids to navigation — including various EVO modular buoys and a 7-metre-high onshore beacon.
This initiative reinforces Almarin’s commitment to international best practice in providing technical support to port and other maritime authorities in the implementation of effective and long-lasting marine marking systems.
The IALA Risk Management Toolbox is a set of tools developed by IALA to conduct maritime risk assessments.
The toolbox includes five tools: IWRAP, PAWSA MK II, SIRA, IRMAS and Simulation. The IALA World-Wide Academy (WWA) provides training based on the Use of the IALA Risk Management Tools model course. This training is designed for individuals responsible for overseeing waterway management as required by SOLAS Chapter V Regulations 12 and 13.
