Everyone onboard must be prepared and know their duties before an emergency occurs. When an emergency happens, it happens fast. This course will give you a basic understanding and assist you with techniques for personal survival if an emergency occurs.

In this course, you will harness the power of Python and ChatGPT to guide you through the process of building this challenging Tower of Hanoi Game from scratch.

Ships are extremely complex environments, containing various hazards and risks. Due to this, a need arises to make the risks bearable in order to ensure the maximum safety of the crew, the vessel itself, and the environment. In order to achieve this result, a process to identify, evaluate and address all the risks relevant enough to endanger the crew, the vessel, or the environment is created. This risk assessment will ensure a proper analysis of the likelihood and potential consequences of each identified hazard or risk.

This short course will take you through an introduction and overview of the FarSounder Argos 3D Forward Looking Sonar (3D-FLS) navigation products.

The safety committee meetings from the master’s perspective need to be managed in line with both the Company (SMS) and mandatory regulations. In addition, they are used to encourage positive interdepartmental cooperation and reinforce the fact that all crew members must take reasonable care for their own health and safety and that of others on board who may be affected by their acts or omissions. In many companies, it is commonplace that any ship security issues are discussed at this meeting and if so the ship security officer should be present.

Clear instructions are simple, specific and short but complete. When you give clear instructions, you avoid confusion, rework and wasted time. At the same time, you help your team become confident in doing their job.

The Vessel General Permit (VGP) is applicable to discharge incidental to the normal operation of a vessel, under which vessels are authorised to discharge effluent within US waters. It is a system of environmental regulation designed to reduce pollution by vessels visiting US ports or operating in US waters. Obtaining and complying with the permit can be challenging, as individual states can establish additional water quality standards that are included in the VGP.

Bridge Resource Management is a critical tool for the officer of the watch in order to maintain a safe navigational watch. BRM is the process to use all of the means available to you during critical operations taking into account not only electronic aids to navigation but also any other data provided during the watch and most importantly teamwork.

The Ship Inspection Report Program (SIRE) is a standard assessment used by tanker owners and operators in order to identify any operational deficiencies in their fleet or their ship. VIQ, Vessel Inspection Questionnaire, is a document within the SIRE, which offers and ensures ships' safety by means of additional safety precautions for all tankers. Chapter 9 of the VIQ covers mooring. In this course, we will discuss this chapter and common observations that are found by vetting inspectors with regard to mooring.

This course will introduce, explain and then teach you how to begin learning the International Regulations for Prevention of Collisions at Sea (Rules of the Road).

When working onboard, one is exposed to hazards and risks all the time. By raising awareness of the hazards, the likelihood can be decreased and thereby, also the potential risk. This course is intended to provide you with the fundamental knowledge of Risk Assessment onboard and give you a useful tool to handle potential risks.

Creativity is an essential component of human expression, enabling us to explore our inner selves and connect with others in meaningful ways. However, unlocking our creativity can be challenging, particularly in a world that prioritizes conformity and routine.
