This course covers the main material included in the Advanced Oil Tanker Training course as set out by STCW. It is intended for all oil tanker personnel to refresh their knowledge as well as any prospective seafarers wanting to take the STCW oil tanker training in the future.

Why should we even worry about static electricity? What could be so dangerous with that, you might ask? Static electricity presents fire and explosion risks during the handling of flammable liquids. Several tanker operations could lead to static electricity accumulation, which could harm the vessel severely and lead to a disaster. The threat of static electricity must be taken seriously! This course aims to help crew members eliminate or minimise such to a safe level of such risks.

Cyclones are intense areas of low pressure where the associated maximum winds can be more than 70 knots generating sea swells of great heights. If a ship runs into cyclones or navigates areas affected by these winds and swells, it can sustain a loss of lives, loss of cargo and even loss of the ship itself. Hence, ship officers should learn techniques and strategies to avoid cyclones at sea.

The course Art Appreciation: Materials and Media explains and helps understand what one is looking at, its value and how to interact with art when potentially buying it and enjoying it in a museum or gallery.

Additionally, when responsible for managing art while working for an art collector, understanding the media that one works with is vital for it to be adequately looked after and handled.

Ship owners and managers generally strive to maintain a high level of structural integrity aboard their ships. To maintain this level, the ship’s crew and shore staff should perform inspections of the hull structure on a regular basis, to assess the hull condition.

Injuries and deaths on ships are the reasons for the majority of the insurance claims and grievances. To avoid such incidents, it is important for seafarers to be educated and trained about 'pinch points'.

This course focuses on weather models and synoptic charts.

In this course, you will gain an understanding of the basic concepts of fault studies on a high voltage three-phase system. We shall cover the methodologies of system faults and use system modelling to aid in the process.

This is an introductory course for anyone who will work in archipelago traffic. In this course, you will learn the theoretical basics of maritime safety.

This course deals with the protection and control principles of high voltage stations. Strong background knowledge in electrical circuitry will assist your understanding of this subject.

Shallow Water Effects present errors in manoeuvring which if unnoticed are extremely dangerous and can lead to grounding or collision. During this course, Bernoulli ́s Principle, Squat, Bank Effect including Bank Suction and Bow Cushion and Interaction will be discussed in detail in addition to the actions that should be taken by a ship in order to avoid disasters resulting from these Effects. Therefore, this course aims to help seafarers recognise when these effects are acting on their vessel and the proper actions to be taken in different circumstances.

Corruption and bribery are traditionally seen as part of doing business in the maritime industry. These practices undermine the trust in the industry and need to be reported to stop them.
