Vegoils Chemical Cargo Handling Training - Vegetable Oils course, a specialised training program designed for maritime professionals, including seafarers, cargo handlers, and logistics personnel involved in the transportation of vegetable oil cargoes. This course aims to equip participants with the essential knowledge and skills required for the safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible handling of vegetable oil cargoes aboard tanker vessels.

Through this course we shall briefly cover: Deck, Bridge and Engine Room Operations as well as Crew Involvement. You shall discover the role of regulatory frameworks such as the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in shaping energy efficiency standards.

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 Materials and Corrosion Prevention are paramount considerations in the maritime industry, especially for the Merchant Navy. The choice of materials, their properties, and effective corrosion prevention techniques play a crucial role in ensuring the safety, durability and efficiency of vessels. This subject area covers the importance of materials selection, corrosion fundamentals, prevention technologies and maintenance strategies. Understanding safeguarding vessels against the corrosive forces of the marine environment and ensuring compliance with international standards.

In the maritime industry, pumps are vital for diverse ship functions, ensuring fluid circulation and system efficiency. Centrifugal pumps, widely used for their reliability, play key roles in cooling, ballast transfer and bilge pumping. The merchant navy relies on these pumps for propulsion, power generation and auxiliary machinery, ensuring overall vessel safety and functionality. Understanding centrifugal pump types, applications and maintenance principles is essential for maintaining optimal performance and safeguarding the complex systems of maritime operations.

Plate Heat Exchangers (PHEs) play a pivotal role in maintaining thermal equilibrium in diverse applications, particularly within marine engineering. This essential component ensures efficient heat transfer, impacting engine cooling, HVAC systems and overall equipment reliability on ships. By exploring the operational principles, advantages, challenges and maintenance aspects of PHEs, this overview illuminates their critical role in optimising performance and adhering to stringent safety and marine engineering standards in the dynamic maritime environment.

This course aims to provide general and useful information about safe rigging and slinging practice.

This course is intended to provide basic information about ships, the different types, and how they float. Gain a fundamental understanding of the ranks onboard a ship and an introduction to maritime law.

This course gives additional training for operations in polar waters, underpinning the knowledge gained during STCW polar courses. In this course, the ship's crew will be given guidance on emergency procedures in polar waters. This course is not meant to be an approved STCW course but an additional training course for onboard learning.

This course is in compliance with the ‘Order on occupational health training for members of the safety group in merchant ships’ issued by the Danish Maritime Authority.
