LEARNING OBJECTIVES

This  course aim to provide knowledge, understanding and skills to conduct a safe and professional ship to ship (STS) transfer operations of crude oil, petroleum products, chemicals and liquefied gases, both at sea and in port.

CONTENT

• Introduction to STS
• Operation personnel
• STS Operation Procedure and Check Lists
• Interaction
• Communication
• Fenders
• Mooring
• External Forces
• Anchoring
• STS incidents

LEARNING PROCESS

The  course consists of totally nine theoretical lessons and nine selected simulator exercises. Participant  learning progress assessed by concurrent evaluation during both theory sessions and simulator exercises.

CERTIFICATE

Certification of attendance will be issued upon successful completion of the course.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

After the course, the successful participants are able to:

• Carry out operational planning, risk assessment and hazard identification tasks
• Set up the DP system for a particular task
• Operate the communications
• Analyse the trends
• Discuss systems failures
• Decide on courses of action because of systems failures
• React to alarms and printer readout
• Initiate DP Alert status alarms
• React to all events occurring
• Operate the desk under normal and pressured conditions
• Practice effective teamwork
• Apply the lessons learned to date
• ASOGs

CONTENT

• Study of DP incidents
• Construction and use of work site diagrams, charts and vessel templates for use in DP operations
• Preparation of plans for a projected DP operation, contingency plans for expected deviations and emergencies
• Participation in simulated situations in a variety of DP operations while handling routine and emergency situations
• Risk and safety analysis, and defining DP equipment classes
• The DP system’s utilization of position measurements, and tests on position reference systems

LEARNING PROCESS

The training will be a combination of theoretical lessons and practical exercises. The participants will work with practical scenarios based on real operations, training on planning and executing specified operations under varying simulated conditions, including emergency handling

SPECIAL INFORMATION

The DP Simulator course is phase C of the Nautical Institute (NI) DP Operator Certification Scheme.

The course will be entered into the NI Dynamic  Positioning Operator’s Log Book.

CERTIFICATE

A certificate acceditated by the Nautical Institute will be issued on succcessful completion of the course.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

The objective of this course is to give the trainee DPOs as much hands-on experience as possible in the time available. This is achieved by running the candidates through intensive simulator training whilst being exposed to environmental and technical worst case scenarios. This will increase the candidate’s operational skills and knowledge in DP Operations.

CONTENT

• All the exercises are carried out on a full scale ship simulator
• DP operations planning and watch keeping procedures
• Handling of position reference systems
• Handling of various propulsion systems
• Repetition of various theoretical topics from the DPO
• Preparation and DPO Start courses upon request from course participants

LEARNING PROCESS

This course is designed to give the trainee DPO extensive hands-on training in the use of the DP in a number of varied worst case scenarios. Candidates for the DPO Experience volume training course must have completed the DPO Preparation and the DPO Start courses, or be able to document equivalent competence.

• Operate  the system with all available functions in order to navigate safely under all conditions
• Explain the system’s menu structure
• Explain and utilize the system’s display setup
• Set safety values
• Recognize  alarms and malfunction indicators and actions to be taken
• Planning, validating and monitoring routes
• Change over to back up systems
• Install and update charts and licenses

CONTENT

• K-Bridge integrated navigation system
• Main system components and functionality
• Basic operation of K-RADAR, K-ECDIS, K-Conning and K-Autopilot
• Type-specific familiarization training on the K-Bridge ECDIS
• Navigation tools and functions
• Setting of safety parameters
• Sensor input and alarm handling
• Route planning, validation and monitoring
• Charts management

LEARNING PROCESS

The training will be a combination of theoretical lessons  and practical exercises. The participants will be trained to find information by using the system and obtaincompetence of various applications.

SPECIAL INFORMATION

This course can be held onboard upon request.

CERTIFICATE

The course yields one diploma stating: K-Bridge Operator Course including ECDIS Familiarization.

Objective: The purpose of the course is to provide forklift drivers with a good theoretical basic training in the safe use of forklifts, so that accidents in connection with forklift driving are avoided.

Module 1.1 - Basic theoretical module
Module 2.2 -Forklift theory
Module 3.2 - Basic practice forklift.

The course is primarily aimed at future users of forklifts. But anyone who is involved with cargo handling and forklifts in risk analysis and work management can also benefit from the course.

The course is conducted with Norwegian-language teachers and teaching materials in accordance with legislation and regulations, as well as recognized curricula for module-based training.

The forklift driver training consists of four modules:

- Module 1.1 working environment, responsibilities and consequences. *
- Module 2.2 G4 bridge and overhead crane
- Module 3.2 Basic practical training forklift 
- Module 4.2 Practical driving training forklift
- Practical Final test in each forklift type T1-T4

* Module 1.1 is common to machine, forklift and crane. If you can document that you have module 1.1 from before that is not older than 3 years, let us know.

Module 4.2 can be completed in a company using a sponsorship arrangement. If you do not have the opportunity to do so, you can participate in one of STQ's practice courses.
