Maintenance and Repair

This course is in the form of a story of a vessel m.t.Reefcon. During the voyages, the vessel faces a number of problems in the Refrigeration and Airconditioning system on board which requires the trainee to apply their theoretical knowledge to practical trouble shooting.
This course will help engineers apply basic principles to troubleshoot these systems.

This course guides engineers in carrying out a self-audit to prepare the vessel for inspections (Sire 2.0, RISQ, PSC, Flag State, etc). It helps engineers know the requirements, and the vessel in greater depth within a structured manner.

A successful self-audit requires crew knowledge and preparedness about what is expected to be examined during an inspection. This is for documentation, hardware, critical and emergency operations, and the standards of testing.
