This incident is based on the experiences of the UK P&I Club. Accidents like the one in this course can and do happen. As you go through this course, ask yourself, "Could this happen on my ship?"

The correct maintaining and filling-in of the oil record books are vital in ensuring compliance. It also provides evidence that the vessel is not polluting in contravention of the MARPOL regulations. All vessels over 400 grt must keep records of machinery space operations in the Oil Record Book Part 1 to comply with the MARPOL regulations.

What is the worst thing that could happen? "It is only Ballast Water" you might say. However, the consequences of poor Ballast Water Management could cause health problems for many people, financial losses for the company, and also harm the world's ecosystems. There is a reason that this convention entered into force. In this course, you are going to learn more about your role and about different methods for handling Ballast Water.

In this course, we will learn about Generators (Alternators); Power Distribution to users; Synchronisation; Safety; and uncommon Maintenance issues. All these are from a practical perspective to help the Engineer deal with situations on board.

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.

The purpose of this course is to provide Engineers and shore superintendents with a basic knowledge of the source, use and precautions to be taken when using fuel oils on board ships. It covers Bunkering operations and the dubious practices used by some suppliers.

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.

This Engine Room Rounds course shows the learner how to conduct rounds of the engine room in a structured way, and what equipment checks to carry out in the machinery spaces of typical large ships.

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.

As an engine room team member you have a vital role. You have to combine an understanding of the ship’s machinery with an awareness of company procedure, while all the time maintaining high safety standards.
In engine room watchkeeping, there is also another factor - teamwork. It is crucial both deck and engineering personnel bear in mind they are part of one team, not just within their own department but with each other. For example, now the majority of main propulsion plants are directly controlled from the bridge, this has brought the deck and engineering departments closer together.
