Proper handwashing means scrubbing hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

At the end of the course, the aim is that the participant should have acquired knowledge of the principles of Dynamic Positioning.

• Set up a dynamic positioning system and have an understanding of the practical operation of associated equipment including position referencing systems
• Recognise and respond to the various alarms, warning and information messages
• Relate the DP installation to the ship’s system e.g. power supply, manoeuvring facility, available position referencing systems and nature of work
• Relate DP Operations to the existing environmental conditions of wind, sea state, current and vessel movement

CONTENT

• Definition of DP, elements of the DP system, DP systems redundancy, and Class Requirements
• Functions of the DP system, and DP principles
• Different types of DP vessels and DP operations, sensors and use of sensor inputs
• Introduction to position reference systems and the DP system’s use of position measurements
• Vessel capability, DP consequence analysis and DP capability analysis
• Thrusters and manoeuvring systems
• Power systems and Blackout Prevention
• Operational procedures for DP operation, and procedures for operating the DP system
• Study of DP incidents
• Principal use of the DP system

LEARNING PROCESS

The training will be a combination of theoretical lessons and practical exercises. During the course each participant will have his own operator station with generic DP software.

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

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

By the end of the course the students should have achieved:

• Thorough knowledge  of the practical aspects of DP Operations
• Capability  to plan and conduct any DP Operation, including risk assessment, contingency planning and assessment of vessel capability
• Ability to undertake any operation with due regard to all circumstances of seamanship and operational requirements
• Ability to react correctly to any circumstances which constitute  or could lead to a catastrophic failure

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 utilisation 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 on DNVGL Class A or B approved simulators.

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.

Hovedmålet med kurset er at den som gis opplæring tilegner seg tilstrekkelige kunnskaper om sikker bruk av traverskraner, slik at ulykker ved bruk unngås.
