The goal of this course is to equip marine ship engineers and engine department personnel with the knowledge and skills necessary to operate safely in the engine room; to minimise the risk of accidents and injuries; and to promote a culture of safety in the maritime industry.

The "Safety of Ship Engineers and Crew in the Engine Room (Machinery Space)" course is an essential educational training program designed for marine engineers and engine room department personnel on commercial ships. The program aims to raise awareness of potential hazards in the engine room, equip participants with essential safety knowledge, and promote a culture of preventative measures to minimise the risk of accidents and injuries. By completing this comprehensive course, participants will gain an in-depth understanding of the importance of safety in the engine room, learn about various safety equipment and procedures, and explore best practices through real-life case studies.

It is important to stress that you always orient yourself towards your engine room's specifications and follow your shipping company-approved procedures.

You will be presented with an assessment at the end of this course.

Reza KAPO

With extensive experience in maritime engineering, I bring a blend of practical sea-going expertise and academic insight to the maritime sector. Over a decade at sea, I rose to the rank of chief engineer, mentoring cadets and refining my technical skills. In addition to my sea career, I pursued advanced academic qualifications, earning a Master's Degree and a PhD in Maritime Affairs from top European universities.

Beyond academics, I have actively contributed to European maritime research projects, focusing on areas such as decarbonization, regulatory frameworks, safety, and environmental protection. Since 2017, I have transitioned into academia, where I leverage my experience to teach STCW and IMO courses to marine officers across European institutions, blending practical knowledge with academic rigor.
