Deck Operations

This course covers the main material included in the Advanced Chemical Tanker Training course as set out by STCW.

The Suez Canal is one of the world's largest and most important shipping routes. In the spring of 2021, it was blocked by a navigation incident onboard the Evergreen container vessel, The Ever Given. This had wide-ranging implications for the shipping industry and global trade as a whole.

Ships are inherently dangerous workspaces, made doubly so by the fact that they move and rock while underway. Slips, trips and falls are therefore one of the most prevalent ways for personnel to injure themselves if correct precautions are not taken.

Oil cargo operations with a FRAMO Deep Well Pump are more complicated than normal due to the officers being unable to monitor the pump by any means other than remotely. This course will explore; what a FRAMO Deep WellPump is, how it is used and the hazards and risks of oil cargo operations when operating it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Welcome to an introductory course on container firefighting where you will learn about different container types, what classes of cargo are stored inside them and how to boundary cool in the case of a fire on board.
