Engineering

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.

The Ship Inspection Report Program (SIRE) is a standard assessment used by tanker owners and operators in order to identify any operational deficiencies in their fleet or their ship. VIQ, Vessel Inspection Questionnaire, is a document within the SIRE, which offers and ensures ships' safety by means of additional safety precautions for all tankers. Chapter 8 of the VIQ covers Cargo and Ballast Operations on Petroleum Tankers. In this course, we will discuss this chapter and common observations that are found by vetting inspectors with regard to Cargo and Ballast Operations.

Having an understanding of the laws and theorems related to three-phase electrical power systems will aid in your course absorption. In this course, you will learn exactly what 'Per Unit Analysis' is and how manufacturers of equipment use it to rate their equipment.

In this course, how Digital Electric Circuits work in modern Intelligent Electrical Devices (IED's), logic gates, digital flip-flops and shift registers will be covered. The student should have a basic understanding of electrical circuitry and have the capability to read circuit diagrams to get the most from this course.

The purpose of refrigeration systems on board vessels is to store temperature-sensitive cargo, perishable food supplies and air conditioning. In line with the Montreal Protocol, and as per MARPOL Annex VI, refrigeration installations must comply with various requirements, including the charging and discharging of systems, and the types of refrigerant utilised.

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.

An introduction to the Inert Gas system and the methods of operation.
Due to the volatile nature of many of the cargoes carried on board tankers, there is a need to reduce the likelihood of fire by some means. The most effective way of doing this in cargo tanks is by reducing the atmospheric oxygen content within the tank to less than is required to support combustion. This is achieved by inerting the tanks.

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?"

This course builds upon the students a basic understanding of single and three-phase power systems. Progressing the student to understand the physics of electrical power and the instrumentation involved in the measurement of single and three-phase power flow.

To get the most from this course a basic understanding of the fundamentals of electricity and DC circuit analysis needs to be known.

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.

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.
