Engineering

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.

Marine Electrical Safety and Regulations is a comprehensive course designed to provide merchant navy professionals with a solid understanding of electrical safety practices, regulations and guidelines applicable to maritime environments. Participants will gain the necessary knowledge to identify potential hazards, mitigate risks and ensure the safe operation and maintenance of electrical systems on board ships and vessels.

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.

Navguide Solutions courses will assist in maintaining your vessel in all respects and improve your results in third-party Inspections, like Port State, SIRE, Rightship, Flag state inspections, audits, etc. This will also assist in bolstering your knowledge and skill, which in turn will help boost your self-confidence and groom you into a thorough marine professional ready for promotions and dealing with challenges onboard.

Let’s embark on this journey to empower you to develop an eye, to spot non-compliance and eventually turn you into a highly valuable member of the ship's team.

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.

Marine pneumatic systems are vital in the merchant navy for various shipboard operations. They rely on compressed air to power equipment and control systems. Understanding their basics, maintenance, and safety practices is essential for ensuring efficient and safe maritime operations.

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.

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.

Marine firefighting and safety, stand as pillars of maritime security and well-being. In the challenging and often remote environment of the open sea, where lives and valuable assets are at stake, these practices play a pivotal role. From the prevention of fires to the rapid response and utilisation of advanced safety systems, the world of marine firefighting and safety is a crucial aspect of maritime operations, ensuring the protection of crew members, passengers, and vessels navigating the world's oceans.

Marine lighting is indispensable in the maritime industry, serving as the beacon of safety, efficiency and functionality onboard vessels. This illumination goes beyond mere light; it guides navigation, safeguards lives, ensures secure operations, and enhances the onboard experience. This course delves into the significance of marine lighting, the diverse types of lighting systems used at sea, their pivotal roles in safety, navigation, and the adherence to international regulations, encapsulating the essence of illumination in the world of marine engineering.

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.

Environmental management in marine engineering within the merchant navy refers to the set of practices and strategies aimed at minimising the environmental impact of maritime operations. This field recognises the significance of preserving marine ecosystems and reducing pollution in order to ensure the sustainability of marine resources and mitigate the adverse effects of shipping activities on the environment.
