Deck Operations

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.

This course discusses the Crude Oil Washing operation on tankers. This is a crucial operation that must be completed correctly. This is to ensure the maximum quantity of cargo can be turned out, all the while ensuring no pollution incidents occur and there are no risks of explosion during the washing cycle.

This course will introduce, explain and then teach you how to begin learning the International Regulations for Prevention of Collisions at Sea (Rules of the Road).

This course introduces the legislation and guidance for Bridge Watch Handovers. The learner will explore the fundamental principles of handing over the watch as well as the practical applications.

The "Ship Pollution and IMO Environmental Conventions" course is a comprehensive program that covers different types of ship pollution and focuses on MARPOL and other international environmental agencies.

This course will introduce and explain Rule 3 of the International Regulations for the Prevention of Collisions at Sea (Rules of the Road).

This course introduces and explains Vapour Emission Control Systems and their use on tankers. These are piping systems used to manage the vapour emissions from oil and chemical cargoes during loading and discharging operations.

In this course, you will learn to solve latitude by Polaris navigational mathematics problems to a standard expected by U.S. Coast Guard license exams for oceans level licenses of unlimited tonnage.

There are hundreds of accidents every year where the worker is in an enclosed space. Over 50% of workers who die in confined spaces are attempting to rescue colleagues. Many of the casualties that have occurred in enclosed spaces on ships have resulted from people entering an enclosed space without proper supervision or adherence to agreed procedures.

Man Overboard is one of the various emergencies that can occur onboard a vessel, and like every other emergency, a man overboard requires immediate and precise intervention. To ensure that action is taken without delay in such an event, every crew member on board is trained in man overboard procedures and drilled on their specific duties at regular intervals as required by SOLAS. The correct and timely application of the procedures to be followed will increase the probability of a successful recovery and decrease the probability of a casualty.

Injuries and deaths on ships are the reasons for the majority of the insurance claims and grievances. To avoid such incidents, it is important for seafarers to be educated and trained about 'pinch points'.
