Deck Operations

To calculate a ship's stability and be able to load maximum cargo, it is imperative that the density of the dock water in which the ship is floating is determined. To do so, the correct use of the hydrometer should be learned. This course not only provides the theoretical use and importance of hydrometers but also includes a video demonstrating its application.

This course, with relevant checklists and work instructions, applies to Tankers carrying MARPOL Annex I cargo and Combination Carriers when carrying oil.

The International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS) came into force in 2004 as an amendment to the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) Convention. It highlights requirements on maritime security including, minimum security arrangements for ships, ports facilities, and government agencies. It specifies the responsibilities of governments, shipping companies, shipboard personnel, and port facility personnel to detect security threats and take preventive measures against security incidents affecting ships or port facilities.

The threat of a bomb or IED - Improvised Explosive Device on board a ship is a significant security concern for any shipping company. Ships can be highly vulnerable to such potential threats due to the complexity of their structures, which can offer endless opportunities to conceal suspicious objects. In addition, it is not always possible to ensure systematic control of access to people, visitors, passengers, stakeholder representatives, baggage, stores, spare parts and cargo on board, especially during routine operations and in the light of smaller and less well-trained crews.

This course is intended for onboard personnel looking to gain knowledge about dangerous gases on ships and the systems used to detect them. The most common types of hazardous gases are explained, as are the detection methods.

The manoeuvre through the eyes of the harbour pilot. What does he see from the bridge, and what are his arguments. It is the first step that the trainee pilot takes during his study path.

This course offers a detailed insight into starting a career in the deck department within the superyacht industry.

It is designed to better understand the superyacht industry's professional culture and help you recognise the importance of setting good first impressions, the need for discretion and developing your professional network.

This course provides basic knowledge to handle epoxy paint, a thermosetting plastics, onboard. The course aligns with the Swedish Work Environment Authority rules AFS 2011:19.

What is the worst thing that could happen? "It is only Ballast Water" you might say. However, the consequences of poor Ballast Water Management could cause health problems for many people, financial losses for the company, and also harm the world's ecosystems. There is a reason that this convention entered into force. In this course, you are going to learn more about your role and about different methods for handling Ballast Water.

The purpose of this course is to introduce you to the IGF Code. We will follow the fuel's way through the ship. Starting at bunkering to storage and finally, through the fuel system, you will also learn about managing potential risks.

This course is designed for onboard and ashore training shipboard personnel in identifying emergency towing equipment, their uses, and the hazards imposed when these are in use. The learner will reinforce training given during Tanker Safety Courses, and this will provide the development of STCW competencies as well as SOLAS requirements for tanker operations.

All safety equipment onboard must conform to the requirements of SOLAS Chapter III and the LSA Code. To ensure that the equipment remains in working order, it must be inspected and maintained regularly to ensure that it is ready for use in an emergency.
