Launched on May 1, MYMIC's
Marina Safety Awareness Training Serious Games were developed with the
goal of reducing accidents and injuries among marina personnel.The collection of games leverages the benefits of
game-based training solutions by allowing trainees to interact with a virtual
marina where they identify and learn about areas that can be hazardous.
MYMIC has a straightforward mission to promote safe
working practices by training staff quickly, immersively and cost-effectively.
This product is a game changer, providing training that will never be boring or
static again.” said Jay Bhatt, MYMIC’s CEO & President
The Marina Safety Awareness Training games
portfolio include stand-alone products as the Marina
Safety Awareness Training - Basic Marina and the Marina

packages (Basic Marina, Working Marina, Working Boatyard and Full Service
Marina) or custom build a training program to match the needs of their own marina.
All bundles support OSHA (US Occupational Safety & Health Administration) compliance.
These products are compatible with Windows
