In this course, you will understand what carbon/GHG emissions are and recognise their impact. Identify the specific greenhouse gases and the internationally accepted standardised protocols that contribute to carbon emissions.

How fast can you get into an immersion suit? Knowing how to properly and quickly don a suit dramatically increases your chance of survival. You are seven times more likely to survive an emergency at sea if you are wearing an immersion suit.

This course teaches you the dangers of hypothermia and how to properly don, store, maintain & inspect immersion suits. See a visual demonstration for donning a suit and helpful tips when running drills.

This course will provide the learner with knowledge & awareness of maritime safety as well as the safe handling of chemicals on board vessels. It addresses the critical importance of safeguarding, the well-being of seafarers and how to prevent incidents related to chemical ingestion. Participants will gain insights into the potential hazards associated with chemical handling, the consequences of chemical ingestion, and best practices for ensuring safety at sea.

Marine firefighting and safety, stand as pillars of maritime security and well-being. In the challenging and often remote environment of the open sea, where lives and valuable assets are at stake, these practices play a pivotal role. From the prevention of fires to the rapid response and utilisation of advanced safety systems, the world of marine firefighting and safety is a crucial aspect of maritime operations, ensuring the protection of crew members, passengers, and vessels navigating the world's oceans.

The holistic nature of well-being is crucial for seafarers, who face unique challenges and spend extended periods away from home. Beyond physical health, mental and emotional well-being plays a vital role in seafarers' overall wellness. Holistic well-being recognises the interconnectedness of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health and emphasises the need to address each aspect.

It's easy to forget that the dangers ladders present are enhanced at sea. This is because vessels roll and pitch, also surfaces can become slippery from bad weather or unexpected spillage. Failure to use proper safety equipment causes lost time injuries that are preventable. In this course, you'll learn simple best practices that will reduce your crew's exposure to ladder-related accidents.

Ship strikes are one of the greatest known threats to all whales, dolphins and porpoises (cetaceans), and are hampering the recovery of several endangered whale species worldwide. The magnitude of this threat has increased as shipping and tourism have expanded, resulting in greater numbers of ships and therefore a much greater risk of collisions. Scientists and conservation managers have been working to identify and implement appropriate measures to reduce the risks of strikes between ships and whales.

Marine lighting is indispensable in the maritime industry, serving as the beacon of safety, efficiency and functionality onboard vessels. This illumination goes beyond mere light; it guides navigation, safeguards lives, ensures secure operations, and enhances the onboard experience. This course delves into the significance of marine lighting, the diverse types of lighting systems used at sea, their pivotal roles in safety, navigation, and the adherence to international regulations, encapsulating the essence of illumination in the world of marine engineering.

Although there is an abundance of seawater available, marine diesel engines do not use it directly to keep the hottest parts of the engine cool or any other piece of machinery. This is because of the corrosion caused in the cooling water spaces by seawater; the salts would be deposited on the cooling surfaces interfering with the heat flow. Instead, the water circulated around the engine is fresh water. The freshwater is cooled using seawater.

Environmental management in marine engineering within the merchant navy refers to the set of practices and strategies aimed at minimising the environmental impact of maritime operations. This field recognises the significance of preserving marine ecosystems and reducing pollution in order to ensure the sustainability of marine resources and mitigate the adverse effects of shipping activities on the environment.

This course delves into the concept of self-knowledge, exploring the multifaceted aspects of understanding oneself, including personality traits, values, emotional triggers, strengths, weaknesses, and motivations. Self-knowledge is the cornerstone of personal growth, effective decision-making, and building meaningful relationships. By gaining insight into one's own identity and experiences, individuals can lead more fulfilling lives and make choices that align with their authentic selves.
