This short course is to help all crew understand why hand-washing is important as part of everyday good practice onboard.

This training is designed to enable crew to understand Public health, sanitation and infection control to commensurate with their job role. Public health has become more prominent since the global pandemic of COVID 19, however public health and outbreak management has always been high priority on board.

In this innovative course, you will learn how to use Google’s Teachable Machine to promote and implement sustainability practices in the workplace. The course is designed for individuals and organisations aiming to foster eco-friendly habits through accessible machine-learning tools.

This course offers a comprehensive overview of Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS), focusing on their technological advancements, operational benefits, and challenges. It covers the levels of autonomy, key navigation technologies like AI, sensors, and RCC coordination, as well as real-world examples of autonomous ships in action. Participants will explore the future of shipping, safety protocols, and the evolving regulatory framework guiding autonomous maritime operations.

The worst has happened, the ship or boat you are on has to be abandoned, and you find yourself in a liferaft. In the raft, you find a SART. It's up to you to seek assistance. The aim of this course is to give you the knowledge and confidence to use a SART in an emergency.

In this short course, we will watch a video of an incident and then analyse it to see what went wrong and what could have been done to prevent this incident.

Explore the cutting-edge world of maritime digitalisation in this advanced course. Dive deep into AI-driven ship systems, real-time data transmission, cloud integration, and cybersecurity. Learn how autonomous ships transform operations, improve decision-making, and optimise efficiency. Gain insights into the latest regulatory trends and discover how these technologies will shape the future of shipping. Perfect for maritime professionals aiming to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving industry!

Discover how digital technologies are revolutionising the shipping industry and transforming your maritime career with our 'Digitalisation in Shipping: Foundations and Essentials' course. Learn how IoT, data analytics, and predictive maintenance optimise ship performance, reduce costs, and improve safety. Stay ahead of the curve with insights into smart shipping tools that help meet stringent environmental and regulatory standards. Whether onboard or shore-based, this course equips you with the essential skills to excel in today’s rapidly evolving digital maritime landscape.

This course guides engineers in carrying out a self-audit to prepare the vessel for inspections (Sire 2.0, RISQ, PSC, Flag State, etc). It helps engineers know the requirements, and the vessel in greater depth within a structured manner.

A successful self-audit requires crew knowledge and preparedness about what is expected to be examined during an inspection. This is for documentation, hardware, critical and emergency operations, and the standards of testing.

A poison is any substance that, if taken in excess, causes an adverse or dangerous reaction. This means that anything and everything can and is poisonous. Toxins enter the body in four ways, ingestion, injection, absorption and inhalation.

An Exhaust Gas Cleaning System (EGCS), often referred to as scrubbers, is a device installed onboard marine vessels that literally “scrubs” harmful sulphur oxides from exhaust gases.

The technology is commonly installed on ships seeking compliance options in the face of tighter emissions regulations. Scrubbers have been adopted for compliance within Emission Control Areas near coastlines. They are also being installed to comply with the International Maritime Organization’s global sulphur cap from 1st January 2020.

Unconscious bias, or implicit bias, refers to automatic judgments and associations formed without conscious awareness. These biases can significantly impact our perceptions, behaviours, and decision-making, often leading to unintentional discrimination. This course explores the science behind unconscious bias, its various types, strategies for identifying and challenging it, and ways to create inclusive environments. By understanding and addressing unconscious bias, individuals and organisations can work towards a more equitable and inclusive workplace.
