Engine Machinery and Systems

This course focuses on Marine Diesel engine diagnosis. The emphasis is on helping Engineers deal with the practical problems they may face on board and help them understand the cause for these. Diesel engines are the power house for propulsion and power generation. A complete understanding of Diesel Engines will always be an important professional skill for Engineers on board and ashore.

This course introduces the concept of Shipboard Energy Efficiency Plans and how they can be implemented onboard. The conservation of energy through new technologies and better operational practices can help to reduce the carbon footprint of shipping operations and reduce operational costs for fuel and power.

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.

Master Lock Out/Tag Out in maritime operations: isolate electrical, hydraulic, and mechanical energy. Learn safety protocols, crew roles, and real-world case studies to prevent accidents and ensure compliance with maritime standards.

Producing sewage on board a ship cannot be avoided, and the management of sewage disposal must, therefore, be carefully considered. Sewage treatment systems are often fitted to ships in order to ensure the safe disposal of sewage, in line with regulatory requirements. This course gives an overview of the sewage treatment system and how it ensures compliance with the relevant regulations.
