Load Lines are key safety components of any vessel. They ensure that there is sufficient reserve buoyancy and freeboard for the ship should it encounter heavy seas or enter less-buoyant fresh water.

This IAMI GUEST Advanced Superyacht Housekeeping Service Level 1 course is an intensive Learning Experience designed to develop your skills and knowledge in delivering and managing top-class housekeeping services onboard and understanding housekeeping-related topics.

The mooring and unmooring of vessels is an integral part of life onboard. Mooring is one of the first operations you do when the ship leaves or arrives at a port. It is also one of the most complex and dangerous activities onboard and can have serious consequences if things go wrong. Mooring, towing, and anchoring can put a lot of strain on lines and equipment because of the high forces involved. The importance of proper knowledge and understanding of such operations by the crew will avoid accidents and casualties.

This course covers the theoretical knowledge of the STCW Fast Rescue Boat course.

Regulation 37 of MARPOL Annex I requires that oil tankers of 150 gross tonnes and above and all ships of 400 gross tonnes and above carry an approved Shipboard Oil Pollution Emergency Plan (SOPEP). This must be read and understood by all officers and crew so that any oil spills that do occur have minimal impact on the marine environment.

This course will give you an understanding of the theory of electrical rotating motors and generators.

Failing to set effective goals can lead to boredom, complacency and a feeling of being stuck. In this course, we will look at how to set effective goals, in and out of work. By doing so, we can become more productive, improve our motivation and achieve our targets both as an individual and part of a team.

This course is important for all workers, as setting effective goals is a skill that everyone should be working on continuously. As we will see in this course, there are always ways to improve.

A solid background in electrical circuitry is required to gain the most out of this course as it deals with the protection and control principles of distribution stations and feeders. Transformer Differential Protection; System Faults; Differential Protection; CT Saturation and Mal-operation of Transformer Protection.

The crew on board ships can be seriously injured (sometimes with casualties) when working with workshop tools and machines if they do not follow safety rules. The Workshop Safety course shows the learner how to safely select, use, maintain and store tools and also work with machines onboard ships.

Calibration checks the response of gas detectors and adjusts the devices to ensure optimum accuracy, it is therefore of paramount importance to ensure proper calibration is carried out by properly trained personnel. It normally involves various types of testing at fixed intervals. An additional bump test is to be performed prior to every use. Since these instruments act as a safety barrier when in use, calibrating such instruments will not only reduce risks but will also enhance safety, therefore, saving lives.

The purpose of this course is to increase the knowledge of those who work with scaffoldings and to ensure a safe work environment. Unfortunately, accidents and injuries are not unusual around scaffoldings, and fall accidents are the most common cause of death in the construction industry.

In this short course, we will watch a video of an incident and then analyse it to see what went wrong and what could have been done to prevent this incident.
