INTRODUCTION

Technical Report Writing (T.R.W) should have a purpose; it is a technique and acquired skill. To achieve your purpose you have to make sure the intended reader looks at and understands what you have written, and why you have written it. You have to make an impression by style and presentation on the ‘target’, and that any person who accesses it understands what you have written. Effective writing is writing that achieves the purpose of the writer.

EuroMaTech’s Technical Report Writing in the Maritime and Offshore Industries training course acquaints the participants with the technical report writing skills and explains how to utilize them in the maritime, offshore, Oil/Gas and port industry sectors.
