Vegoils Chemical Cargo Handling Training - Vegetable Oils course, a specialised training program designed for maritime professionals, including seafarers, cargo handlers, and logistics personnel involved in the transportation of vegetable oil cargoes. This course aims to equip participants with the essential knowledge and skills required for the safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible handling of vegetable oil cargoes aboard tanker vessels.

In this Ship Steering Gear Fundamentals course, we will explore how hydraulics are used to steer large seagoing vessels. We will start by looking at the evolution of ship steering mechanisms, from the days of sailors at the helm of wooden ships, to the fully-automated systems we use today. We will then review the major parts of modern ship steering gears, including rams, cylinders, tillers, and rudder angle indicators. We will learn how pumps, motors, directional control valves and relief valves work together to manoeuvre a vessel with precision, even across long distances.

The Sharnov Turn is one of the most widely recognises man overboard manoeuvres, the others being the Anderson and the Williamson.

This course provides an in-depth exploration of Electronic Navigational Charts (ENCs), essential tools in modern maritime navigation. Participants will learn about the structure, functionality, and application of ENCs within Electronic Chart Display and Information Systems (ECDIS). The course covers key topics such as voyage planning with ENCs, understanding ENC accuracy and the importance of the Category Zone of Confidence (CATZOC), as well as the procedures for installing and updating ENCs.
