Engineering

The goal of this course is to equip marine ship engineers and engine department personnel with the knowledge and skills necessary to operate safely in the engine room; to minimise the risk of accidents and injuries; and to promote a culture of safety in the maritime industry.

Control valves are integral components within the maritime control systems of ships, contributing significantly to the safe and efficient operation of various marine systems. These valves, including Globe Valves, Butterfly Valves and Ball Valves, play a crucial role in regulating fluid flow, pressure and temperature. Their precise control capabilities are vital for maintaining optimal conditions, enhancing operational efficiency and ensuring the safety of both the vessel and its crew.

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 this course, you will gain an understanding of the basic concepts of fault studies on a high voltage three-phase system. We shall cover the methodologies of system faults and use system modelling to aid in the process.

Hydraulic systems are the lifeblood of maritime operations in the merchant navy. These systems harness the power of fluids to steer ships, lift cargo, and control essential machinery. Understanding their fundamentals, maintenance, and safety is paramount for smooth and safe sailing, ensuring vessels operate efficiently and reliably.

Planned Maintenance Systems (PMS) are vital for efficient maintenance management onboard merchant ships. This introduction provides an overview of the key aspects of PMS, including equipment identification, maintenance task planning, scheduling, work order generation, execution, and performance monitoring. Implementing a well-designed PMS ensures increased reliability, enhanced safety, regulatory compliance, and cost-effective asset management.

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.

In this Ship Steering Gear Fundamentals course, we will explore how hydraulics are used to steer large seagoing vessels. We will start by looking at the evolution of ship steering mechanisms, from the days of sailors at the helm of wooden ships, to the fully-automated systems we use today. We will then review the major parts of modern ship steering gears, including rams, cylinders, tillers, and rudder angle indicators. We will learn how pumps, motors, directional control valves and relief valves work together to manoeuvre a vessel with precision, even across long distances.

Learn about valve terminology, components, nomenclature and how valves work. Ideal for all engineering industries!

The full version of this course is directed to the training of the personnel responsible for the control of the waters on board seagoing vessels according to the most recent international regulations and the good practices in the field.

This course takes you from the fundamentals of trigonometry to the more sophisticated requirements in electrical engineering. As you work and study electrical engineering you are going to run into proofs and equations that are based on trigonometry. Base knowledge of intermediate mathematics, equations and binomials will be advantageous.

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.
