SHIPS HANDLING WITH SIMULATOR

COURSE CATEGORY: Operational Deck

DURATION: 2 days

COURSE OBJECTIVES AND BENEFITS
Ships Handling with Simulator course is a refresh syllabus on using a 360 full mission bridge-room simulator.
The trainees who successfully complete this course will have gained experience in handling ships under various conditions. They could also make a more effective contribution to the bridge team during ship maneuvering in normal and emergency situations.
In particular, trainees will gain:
a) familiarization with the use of engines and helm for ship maneuvering
b) understanding of the effects on the behaviour of the ship of wind, current, shallow water, banks and narrow channels and condition of loading
c) greater awareness of the importance of planning a passage or maneuver and the need for an alternative plan
d) greater understanding and awareness of efficient bridge procedures and bridge teamwork during watchkeeping and ship handling; in normal and in emergency situations
e) greater awareness and understanding of a good interactive communication style and benefit of building up a common shared mental model of the planned passage.

STCW FAMILIARISATION

COURSE CATEGORY: Management

DURATION: 1 Day

COURSE OBJECTIVES AND BENEFITS
The course provides theoretical and practical knowledge on the Standards of Training, Certification, and Watchkeeping (STCW).

The STCW Convention and Code outlines the minimal essential standards for seafarer education, certification, and watchkeeping that all contracting parties must adhere to. To that aim, the parties concerned must show the IMO that the necessary governmental and administrative measures have been put in place to guarantee such compliance.

Who should attend: Ship and shore-based staff involved in marine operations

BALLAST WATER MANAGEMENT

COURSE CATEGORY: Operational Engine

DURATION: 1 Day

Course recommended by:

COURSE OBJECTIVES AND BENEFITS
Ballast water (BW) is one of the main vectors for the movement of aquatic organisms across biogeographic borders. Worldwide, it is estimated that up to 10,000 alien species of flora and fauna are transported on ships on a daily basis.

The course attempts to provide attendees with information about environmental regulations related to ballast water treatment and BW treatment systems, as well as on-board installation requirements.

This course is recommended by OCIMF’s SIRE 2.0/Rightship’s RISQ 3.2 protocols.

BRM/BTM BRIDGE SIMULATOR REFRESH

COURSE CATEGORY: Operational Deck

DURATION: 3 Days

Course recommended by:

COURSE OBJECTIVES AND BENEFITS

BRM/BTM/Ship Handling/Bridge Simulator Refresh course is a refresh syllabus on BRM/BTM, using a 360 full mission bridge-room simulator.

Our instructor sets and controls exercises. Initially, he allows the trainees to become familiar with the equipment, controls and instrumentation provided by the simulator.

Set exercises increase in complexity as the course progresses. Complexity increases as trainees become familiar with the ship model’s maneuvering characteristics and its response to engine and helm in various conditions. Final exercises deal with the planning and execution of a coastal passage from port to port. They will make use of the knowledge and skills learned in all of the previous exercises. The instructor will introduce equipment failure or malfunction during the latest exercises to afford trainees practice in taking emergency preventive action and to practice on bridge teamwork in critical situations.

During exercises, trainees need to use effective bridge procedures, following International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea (COLREG 1972). They also need to observe the basic principles of keeping a navigational watch, as set out in regulation VIII/2, section A-VIII/2 and B-VIII/2 of the STCW Convention and Code as amended. Trainees will assume the different roles of the bridge watchkeeping team. These roles will be rotated to allow each trainee an opportunity to act as master for some of the exercises.

A session for briefing and planning will precede each exercise and a debriefing will follow.

Objective

The trainees who successfully complete this course will have gained experience in handling ships under various conditions. They could also make a more effective contribution to the bridge team during ship maneuvering in normal and emergency situations.

In particular, trainees will gain:

a) familiarization with the use of engines and helm for ship maneuvering
b) understanding of the effects on the behaviour of the ship of wind, current, shallow water, banks and narrow channels and condition of loading
c) greater awareness of the importance of planning a passage or maneuver and the need for an alternative plan
d) greater understanding and awareness of efficient bridge procedures and bridge teamwork during watchkeeping and ship handling; in normal and in emergency situations
e) greater awareness and understanding of a good interactive communication style and benefit of building up a common shared mental model of the planned passage.

ERM/ENGINE ROOM SIMULATOR REFRESH

COURSE CATEGORY: Operational Engine

DURATION: 3 days

Course recommended by:

COURSE OBJECTIVES AND BENEFITS
ERM/Engine Room Simulator Refresh course is a refresh syllabus on ERM/ERS, using a 3D engine-room simulator.

Our instructor supervises set exercises. Initially he allows the trainee to become familiar with the machinery and controls used in the engine-rooms of modern merchant ships. Furthermore, the trainee shall become skilled in the scanning of instrument displays when assessing the normal operational conditions of a propulsion plant.

A session for briefing will precede each exercise and a group debrief will follow, which will analyze the actions and decisions of the trainee.

Objective
To provide knowledge and skills related to operation, supervising and monitoring the safe operation and control of a ship’s machinery. This, in accordance with provisions of the STCW Code.

In particular, the trainee will be able to have:
– familiarization with the use of instrumentation and controls used in the engine-rooms of modern merchant ships
– an awareness of the need for proper pre-planning, the use of checklists and of the timescale involved in starting up propulsion plant machinery
– experience in identifying operational problems and trouble-shooting them
– the ability of logical decision making which promotes operational safety

This course is recommended by OCIMF’s SIRE 2.0/Rightship’s RISQ 3.2 protocols.
