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.

The crew on board ships can be seriously injured (sometimes with casualties) when working with workshop tools and machines if they do not follow safety rules. The Workshop Safety course shows the learner how to safely select, use, maintain and store tools and also to work with workshop machines on board ships. Moreover, this course identifies the correct PPE to be worn in workshops and recommends common safety rules for the crew who work in workshops.

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'.

Correct fuel management onboard ships is critical to the operational effectiveness of the vessel. The use of the correct types of fuel as well as ensuring the fuel is suitable for consumption by the engines must be monitored at all times. This has an added dimension due to changes that came into force in January 2020 pertaining to Annex VI of MARPOL and the new Sulphur Cap requirements.

Background knowledge of mathematics and trigonometry will assist you when learning the mathematical derivatives as they apply to electrical functions. The learner will gain knowledge on limits, useful Trig Identities and the Squeeze Theorem.

A transformers basic job is to increase or decrease power. There are critical pieces of equipment that need to be protected and maintained to a high level to ensure maximum productivity is available throughout its life span. This course will give you a greater understanding of the standard type three-phase power transformer used within the industry today.

Basic requirements Electrical; Mathematics; Trigonometry.

In the recent past, there have been a few incidents where improper Stowage, Handling and Securing have led to serious injury to the crew members. This course will look over an incident that occurred and the conclusion of the investigation.

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.

Our hands are vitally important tools, but they can become risk management nightmares when exposed to hazardous, uncontrolled environments. Fortunately, there are simple procedures that can mitigate these risks, such as knowing the correct PPE and understanding when and where to use it. Gain awareness of how hand injuries occur and learn simple prevention techniques.

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.
