In this course we will introduce the guidelines and procedures for tank washing and protection. The regular tank coatings and the differences between chemical and water tank washing will be covered.

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.

This course aims to give engineers a basic knowledge of how to perform service and maintain smaller reefer units safely and efficiently. Reefer units are used for provisions stores, cooling CO2 storage, air-conditioning units, reefer containers, and in cold cargo holds.

This course builds upon the students a basic understanding of single and three-phase power systems. Progressing the student to understand the physics of electrical power and the instrumentation involved in the measurement of single and three-phase power flow.

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.

Falling to a lower level is one of the most common workplace accidents, and falling from even a low height can be fatal. Working at Height is a course that gives basic knowledge of personal falling protection. When do you need to protect yourself or your employees from falling, how do you do it, and what equipment do you need?

The work environment onboard ships is extremely complex, containing various hazards and risks. Due to this, rules and regulations were introduced to create a standard onboard, ensuring a better and safer work environment. This is done by the implementation of safety management systems and by training seafarers to recognise everyday risks and hazards and understands how they can mitigate them by the use of personal protective equipment and safe working practices.

The Suez Canal is one of the world's largest and most important shipping routes. In the spring of 2021, it was blocked by a navigation incident onboard the Evergreen container vessel, The Ever Given. This had wide-ranging implications for the shipping industry and global trade as a whole.

This course covers the main material included in the Advanced Chemical Tanker Training course as set out by STCW.

The Memorandum of Understanding for the Transport of Dangerous Goods on Ro-Ro Ships in the Baltic Sea [Baltic MoU] is a multilateral agreement on the transport of dangerous goods in packaged form between Denmark, Germany, Poland, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Sweden.

Ships are inherently dangerous workspaces, made doubly so by the fact that they move and rock while underway. Slips, trips and falls are therefore one of the most prevalent ways for personnel to injure themselves if correct precautions are not taken.

Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects millions of people worldwide, and seafarers are no exception. People who work at sea often face unique challenges, including disrupted routines, limited access to medical care, difficulty maintaining a healthy diet, and getting regular physical activity which increases the risk of seafarers for developing diabetes. These challenges can also make it difficult for diabetic seafarers to manage their condition and increase the risk of complications.
