In this short course, we will focus on the introduction of ISO 27001: Information Security Management Systems.

This course is based on the IMO requirements for radar at the operational level. It provides a comprehensive introduction to radar for watch officers.

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.

The marine industry takes safety very seriously, however, in spite of our best efforts incidents do unfortunately still occur, particularly during mooring. A marine insurance industry report shows that mooring incidents are one of the most frequent personal injury causes.

Marine Electrical Safety and Regulations is a comprehensive course designed to provide merchant navy professionals with a solid understanding of electrical safety practices, regulations and guidelines applicable to maritime environments. Participants will gain the necessary knowledge to identify potential hazards, mitigate risks and ensure the safe operation and maintenance of electrical systems on board ships and vessels.

Suicide is, unfortunately, all too common across the world. Most of us will come into contact with friends, family or workmates who are feeling suicidal at some point in our lives. That's why it's so important for us all to have at least a base knowledge of suicide and what leads to suicidal behaviours.

In this course, we will look at the main signs & symptoms of suicidal behaviour and emotional distress. We'll cover an effective action plan to help people when they're feeling suicidal, as well as useful referral options and ideas for self-care. This course is important for all workers.

We all find ourselves doing things in a specific way without knowing why just because we have always done it that way or that is what everybody else does or that is the way it is done locally. Over time, in doing this, we just stop seeing the risks and therefore do not challenge our actions. This is called collective normalisation because we all do it and it becomes common practice.

Work debrief is an informal conversation among team members after the job completion. It allows everyone to reflect on the job, to discuss what went well, what did not and to come up with improvement ideas.

Route planning and optimisation involve juggling safety, efficiency, navigation, costs, port rotation, ETAs, speed ranges and additional constraints, such as seakeeping. For ship captains, this is a complex challenge that requires the aid of a decision-supporting tool to give them confidence in their decisions and support execution. We developed SPOS (Ship Performance Optimisation System) to address these challenges.

Controlling hazards is a step in the risk assessment process after risk evaluation. It is necessary to reduce or eliminate risks that are found to be high.

In this course, we will learn the importance of keeping our barriers strong and understanding when some of these barriers may be weakening. We will watch a video that will go through two very different scenarios with very similar outcomes and then analyse this video to see what could have been done better.

Ergonomics is a science that deals with the study of functions and the interaction between the three elements that make up a working system: Man, Machinery and Environment. The objective of workplace ergonomics is to improve system performance and to protect the well-being, health and safety of workers. To achieve this goal, various areas are investigated, including the human factor and the risks related to the manual handling of loads and repeated movements.
