Human Behaviour

This course covers the theoretical knowledge of the STCW Fast Rescue Boat course.

Regulation 37 of MARPOL Annex I requires that oil tankers of 150 gross tonnes and above and all ships of 400 gross tonnes and above carry an approved Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan (SOPEP). This must be read and understood by all officers and crew so that any oil spills that do occur have minimal impact on the marine environment.

Failing to set effective goals can lead to boredom, complacency and a feeling of being stuck. In this course, we will look at how to set effective goals, in and out of work. By doing so, we can become more productive, improve our motivation and achieve our targets both as an individual and part of a team.

This course is important for all workers, as setting effective goals is a skill that everyone should be working on continuously. As we will see in this course, there are always ways to improve.

Risk management is a key safety process. It makes you more safety- conscious in every stage of your job and helps you prevent accidents proactively.

The purpose of this course is to increase the knowledge of those who work with scaffoldings and to ensure a safe work environment. Unfortunately, accidents and injuries are not unusual around scaffoldings, and fall accidents are the most common cause of death in the construction industry.

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 work with machines onboard ships.

Calibration checks the response of gas detectors and adjusts the devices to ensure optimum accuracy, it is therefore of paramount importance to ensure proper calibration is carried out by properly trained personnel. It normally involves various types of testing at fixed intervals. An additional bump test is to be performed prior to every use. Since these instruments act as a safety barrier when in use, calibrating such instruments will not only reduce risks but will also enhance safety, therefore, saving lives.

This course is tailored for a wide range of maritime professionals, focusing specifically on the important procedures and workings of a ship’s Engine Room. Designed to provide a mix of theoretical knowledge and practical skills, this course will guide you through the dynamics of engine room operations, ensuring compliance with global standards and regulations, mostly set by IMO.

In this short course, we will watch a video of an incident and then analyse it to see what went wrong and what could have been done to prevent this incident.

This course gives additional training for operations in polar waters, underpinning the knowledge gained during STCW polar courses. Deck officers will be given guidance and advice on navigation and passage planning in polar waters. This course is not meant to be an approved STCW course but an additional training course for onboard learning.

Hazard identification deals with finding things or situations that could cause harm. It is the first step in risk assessment which is a proactive approach to ensure a safer and smoother work process.

A free-floating mechanism for liferafts is defined by SOLAS as a must-have onboard and will, if correctly installed, release a vessel's life rafts in the event a ship would go under before a controlled evacuation was possible.
The Hammar H20 Hydrostatic Release Unit is a free-floating mechanism for liferafts with more than 35 years of proven track record.
