Firefighting

This course introduces the basic concepts of fire dangers and firefighting on all types of ships. The course covers the use of fixed and portable firefighting equipment as well as preventative measures taken to reduce the likelihood of fires.

Hot works mean any work requiring the use of electric arc or gas welding equipment, cutting burner equipment or other forms of naked flame, as well as heating or spark-generating tools, regardless of where it is carried out on board a ship.

The galley is crucial to the operational effectiveness of any ship as it provides food for all crew members. It should be properly and hygienically run to ensure that ship personnel remain healthy and can be looked after properly.

Alternative-fueled vehicles (AFV) represent different types of hazards compared with vehicles with traditional fuel such as gasoline and diesel with internal combustion engines. Do our usual methods, equipment, and training work, or do we need to do something more to be safe?

This is a short guide to the Fireman's outfit and the Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus. Courses from Navguide Solutions will help you learn on-job skills and improve your results in third-party Inspections, such as Port State, SIRE, Rightship, Audits, etc. They will also assist you in getting ready for promotions, and becoming a thorough professional.

This course does not cover any details of documentation.

Under SOLAS requirements, vessels must complete drills on board at regular intervals to ensure that personnel and equipment are ready for emergencies that may develop. STCW amendments also require training to be conducted onboard to allow seafarers to renew their STCW certification without the need to complete the full course again every 5 years. Making the drills effective and useful is, therefore, a priority for vessel managers and Masters to ensure the training is relevant, no time is wasted and the seafarers receive value from the exercises.

This course introduces the basic concepts of tanker fire dangers and firefighting. The course covers the use of fixed and portable firefighting equipment as well as preventative measures taken to reduce the likelihood of fires on tankers.

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.

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 an introductory course on container firefighting where you will learn about different container types, what classes of cargo are stored inside them and how to boundary cool in the case of a fire on board.

The course covers a wide range of drills and exercises mandated by various conventions such as SOLAS, MARPOL, ISM Code, ISPS Code, and STCW Convention and Code. These drills aim to ensure the safety, security, and environmental protection of ships and their crew members.

This course offers a comprehensive insight into the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS), a critical global maritime safety treaty. Established under the International Maritime Organization (IMO), SOLAS aims to set minimum safety standards for the construction, equipment, and operation of ships. By participating in this course, attendees will gain valuable knowledge on various SOLAS chapters, their relationship with the STCW Convention, IMO Model Courses, and ISM Code, ultimately enhancing their understanding of maritime safety.
