Stability

The International Load Line Regulations require vessels to sail in a safe condition, taking into account transverse and longitudinal stability. Ships officers should be able to determine the initial sailing condition of a vessel to ensure it complies as well as calculate the effects on transverse and longitudinal stability from moving weights on, off and around the vessel.

Ballast Water Record Book (BWRB) training is an essential component for maritime personnel involved in the operation and management of ships. This training is designed to familiarise individuals with the proper procedures and protocols outlined in the Ballast Water Management (BWM) Convention regarding the recording of ballast water-related activities.

Ships earn money by carrying cargo between ports; more cargo means more money.

How much cargo can a ship carry? Well, that depends on her Loadline.

In this course, you will learn about ‘Engine Room Flooding’ and be introduced to a generic Engine Room Emergency procedure, which will expand your knowledge and help you connect with an actual ‘Engine Room Flooding’ on board.

Modern ship construction uses complex methods of strengthening based upon framing systems. There are two main systems of framing, longitudinal and transverse.

This course is designed to empower maritime professionals with the expertise required to tackle hull damage and potential abandonment scenarios in bulk carriers. With a focus on safety, regulatory compliance, and best practices, this course equips participants with the skills needed to safeguard lives and assets at sea.

Drydocking a vessel is a dangerous and hazardous operation that requires expertise and caution to ensure that it is conducted safely and without incident.

This course is designed to refresh the learner in the minimum standard requirements for the training of personnel aboard ro-ro passenger vessels, and the training of personnel on passenger ships other than ro-ro vessels.
The course reminds learners of the STCW requirements for Passenger Safety, Cargo Safety, And Hull Integrity as per STCW Regulation V/2 paragraphs 4 and 5, and Regulation V/3 paragraphs 4 and 5.

This course introduces the inclining experiment and the way of calculating the lightship displacement. Learners will understand how to set up and conduct the experiment as well as calculate the lightship displacement from the results.

This course introduces the basic concepts of modern tanker construction. It covers the safety zone concept as well as double hull construction requirements.

Containers are now responsible for the vast majority of cargo moved around the world. The safety precautions, regulations and operations of container vessels are important for the correct shipping of these vital cargo packages.

To calculate a ship's stability and be able to load maximum cargo, it is imperative that the density of the dock water in which the ship is floating is determined. To do so, the correct use of the hydrometer should be learned. This course not only provides the theoretical use and importance of hydrometers but also includes a video demonstrating its application.
