Engine Machinery and Systems

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'.

The purpose of a shipboard incinerator is to provide a facility designed to incinerate wastes or other matter on board generated during the normal operation of the ship. Incinerators are predominantly designed for intermittent operation and comply with the latest IMO regulations.

Learn the basics of a diesel engine; the reciprocating piston engine is the most influential machine ever invented by mankind.

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 introduces the Bilge Water Management systems found onboard and explains how they are managed. The course covers the legal requirements under MARPOL regulations as well as the operation of the machinery and correct recording measures to be taken.

In this course, you will learn about ‘Engine Room Flooding’ and be introduced to a generic Engine Room Emergency procedure, which will expand your knowledge and help you connect with an actual ‘Engine Room Flooding’ on board.

The course is designed to take you from zero to hero concerning centrifugal pump knowledge. Even if you already have some background knowledge, this course will serve as an efficient refresher. Whatever your level of understanding, or engineering background (HVAC, fire safety, oil and gas, mechanical engineering, refrigeration, chemical engineering, power engineering etc), we can guarantee you will have never taken an engineering course like this one.

This course is for the correct entries into the ORB Part-I as per industry guidelines and IMO circulars.

Fuel purifiers play a crucial role in the merchant navy, where ships rely on diesel or heavy fuel oil (HFO) for propulsion and power generation. These fuels, although essential, can contain impurities that can lead to engine damage, reduced efficiency, and increased maintenance costs. Fuel purifiers are designed to remove these impurities and ensure the smooth and efficient operation of marine engines.

Beyond exception, the reciprocating piston engine is the most influential machine ever invented by mankind. Right from its early beginnings as a steam engine, the piston engine has revolutionised the way we live, work and travel. This course will teach you more about this truly fantastic machine.

Welcome to this comprehensive educational course, made to explore the basics of shipboard electrical systems, and more importantly define and differentiate between various operational conditions and emergencies onboard due to a lack of electrical supply on the ship's main switchboard. By understanding the root causes of blackouts, the course aims to empower maritime professionals with the knowledge and strategies to efficiently handle and recover from as well as prevent these critical events.

Although there is an abundance of seawater available, marine diesel engines do not use it directly to keep the hottest parts of the engine cool or any other piece of machinery. This is because of the corrosion caused in the cooling water spaces by seawater; the salts would be deposited on the cooling surfaces interfering with the heat flow. Instead, the water circulated around the engine is fresh water. The freshwater is cooled using seawater.
