Preparing for the Unexpected: Dedicated Maritime Training Services

Visiomare GmbH (the company behind sar-consulting.eu), founded by Juliana Schmidt-Theurer in 2022, aims to establish professional maritime search and rescue operations in commercial shipping. With a focus on increasing safety at sea, visiomare offers comprehensive search and rescue training to captains, officers, and personnel from various institutions. This training empowers them to not only respond but also take proactive measures in emergency situations, fostering effective collaboration with SAR organizations and ensuring the safe return of seafarers.

Juliana Schmidt-Theurer, born in Berlin and raised in Barbados, embarked on her maritime career after obtaining a diploma in Engineering with a qualification for Maritime Transport from Hochschule Bremen. Working with Hapag Lloyd Cruises on the “MS Bremen,” she navigated unique routes like the Northeast Passage, Northwest Passage, South Pacific, and the Amazon River.

In 2017 Juliana transitioned to land-based work and started working for the Maritime Rescue Coordination Center (MRCC Bremen/DGzRS). In the early 2020s, she assumed dual roles, maintaining her position at the MRCC while venturing into training. As a certified trainer at the Simulator Center of the Sea Rescue Academy of the DGzRS, she played a crucial role in developing and implementing courses such as OSC Basic, Advanced & Refresher. Additionally, she designed comprehensive training concepts in maritime English for the professional development of DGzRS colleagues.

At sar-consulting.eu, we go beyond being a team; we are a guiding light in the maritime industry, dedicated to providing professional and top-tier training. Our mission is to equip all organizations with the skills and knowledge to navigate emergencies confidently and effectively. We collaborate with various authorities, including water police, federal police, navy, customs, and sea pilots, enabling cooperation with SAR organizations and optimizing rescue operations. Through the right expertise, extensive experience, and continuous training, we firmly believe that every emergency situation can be tactfully managed and successfully resolved.
At sar-consulting.eu, safety is not just our priority; it is our unwavering commitment to every sailor at sea.
