LEARNING OBJECTIVES

The period of supervised DP sea time days after the Simulator Course may be reduced by a maximum of 30 days by the satisfactory completion of an intensive DP Simulator Course.

CONTENT

• Study of DP incidents
• Construction and use of worksite diagrams, Electronic 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 equipmentclasses
• The DP system’s utilization of position

LEARNING PROCESS

The participants will work with practical scenarios based on real operations, training on planning and executing specified operations under varying simulated conditions.

During the operations, typical DP failure modes will be included. Communication with field control, other vessels and the different departments onboard will be included. A rotation plan will be made for participants to act in different roles during the course.

The scenarios will be run on a K-POS DP system Class2, in a full mission simulator environment connected to an advanced simulator control (NI Class A).

SPECIAL INFORMATION

The Sea Time Reduction Course reduces phase D of the Nautical Institute (NI) DP Operator Certification Scheme (watchkeeping experience). The course will be logged into the Nautical Institute DP Operator’s log book and reduce the Watchkeeping Experience requirements by 30 days

CERTIFICATE

Certification of attendance will be issued on succcessful completion of the course.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

By the end of the course the participants should:

• Have acquired knowledge of the latest rules and regulations
• Have acquired knowledge of the latest developments within sensors and Position Reference Systems (PRS)
• Have acquired knowledge of the latest relevant DP incidents and why they occurred
• Be able to recognize the various alarm, warning and information messages
• Carry out operational planning, risk assessment and hazard identification tasks
• Set up the DP system for a particular task/ operation
• Decide on courses of action because of system failure

CONTENT

The course is conducted as classroom training, combining theoretical presentation (Show-and Tell Lessons) and practical work/discussion with exercises in simulator and guidance (Stair-Step learning design). For practical capabilities and skills, exercises are performed in full equipped DP simulator. This course will fulfil the revalidation learning objectives as specified by Nautical institute.

SPECIAL INFORMATION

At present (2016), the requiremets is that the holder of a Nautical Institute (NI) DPO certificate must revalidate their DPO certificates.

The requirement is that the DPO must have at least 150 days of DP sea time experience in the previous 5 years, if not NI DPO Revalidation course is needed.

CERTIFICATE

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

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

After the course the participant is able to:
• Operate the system
• Understand the basic principles of stability
• Safe vessel operation and utilization of load capacity

CONTENT

Themes in the course are:
• Basic stability theory
• System setup and configuration
• Basic operation and understanding of the system
• Intact stability and utilization of vessel capacity
• Damage stability with emergency response

LEARNING PROCESS

The training will be a combination of theoretical lessons and practical exercises. Each participant will use a PC with necessary software installed to do training cases. 

SPECIAL INFORMATION

This course is done on a demo ship with a generic software.

CERTIFICATE

Certificate of attendance will be issued upon completion of the course.

Kurset er i henhold til NS-EN- 1591-4. Kurset øker kompetansen og gir grunnleggende kunnskaper innen forberedelse, planlegging, utførelse og dokumentering av arbeid med boltetrekking av flensforbindelser på trykksatte systemer.

Kurset dekker følgende tabeller i NS-EN 1591-4:

Tabell 1: Foundation level training matrix.

Tabell 2: Training matrix for hydraulic tension tightening.

Tabell 3: Training matrix for hydraulic torque tightening.

Tabell 6: Training matrix for bolt load determination after assembly.

Tabell 7: Training matrix for compact flanges.

Tabell 8: Training matrix for clamp connectors

Tabell 9: Training matrix for special connector/flanges

Hensikt: Hensikten med kurset å forhindre skade på personell, miljø og utstyr. Dette kan forebygges ved å styrke kompetansen og øke forståelsen hos den enkelte.

This course is only available in Norwegian.

This course is made for personell envolved in design, planning, projecting, installation and maintenance on electrical installations and equipment offshore. 

The purpose of the standard is to minimize the hazards to people and equipment, whilst optimizing dependability.

Objective: The purpose of the standard is to minimize the hazards to people and equipment, whilst optimizing dependability.

Content:

- An easy to understand overview and explanation of the committees/regulations/standards and how they are intertwined. 

- Presentation of the regulations and norms: PTIL 5 HMS, Nek 410 (IEC 60092), Nek 420 (IEC 60079), ATEX directives including standards and the Norsok series. 

- The structure and history of the IEC 61892 series, and the scope and application. 

- By using a fictive, illustrated installation, we will focus on the practical elements covered in the following standards:
