This course gives additional training for operations in polar waters, underpinning the knowledge gained during STCW polar courses. In this course, the ship's crew will be given guidance on emergency procedures in polar waters. This course is not meant to be an approved STCW course but an additional training course for onboard learning.

Everyone onboard must be prepared and know their duties before an emergency occurs. When an emergency happens, it happens fast. This course will give you a basic understanding and assist you with techniques for personal survival if an emergency occurs.

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.

Ship-to-ship transfer operations, also known as STS operations, are operations where crude oil or petroleum products are transferred between seagoing tanker ships moored alongside each other at sea. Such operations can take place when one ship is at anchor or both are underway at very low speeds.

Cyclones are intense areas of low pressure where the associated maximum winds can be more than 70 knots generating sea swells of great heights. If a ship runs into cyclones or navigates areas affected by these winds and swells, it can sustain a loss of lives, loss of cargo and even loss of the ship itself. Hence, ship officers should learn techniques and strategies to avoid cyclones at sea.

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

It provides tanker crew familiarisation with hazards and precautions for the safe handling and carriage of MARPOL Annex 1 oil cargoes, including tank preparations. The course contents are in line with statutory regulations and best industry practices.

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.
