Who Should Attend?

This course is aimed at professionals wanting to further their

careers in either ship operations, fleet management, engineering or

design, for which the necessary background knowledge and

terminology of ships and ship building will be required. This course

will also lay the foundation for any new entrants into the marine

sector without a professional qualification, or employees who work

in conjunction with marine engineering departments, but want to

gain a better understanding of marine engineering and naval

architecture to aid in their daily job function and when dealing with

clients.

Why Attend?

This course will allow candidates to demonstrate an understanding

of:

� Marine engineering, marine engineering systems, systems

categorisation, principles and good practices.

� Naval Architecture related to ship design; stability;

propulsion selection; performance and powering; watertight

integrity; and the various legislation, rules and standards that

must be considered whilst designing a ship.

� Ship construction related to the layout of shipyards; the

importance of the drawing offices; shipyard processes; loads,

structures and materials used in ship construction; the weld-

ing and cutting processes used during construction; launch-

ing of new build ships; and the importance of quality.

� The basics of dry docking related to dry dock types,

certification, ratings, inspections and procedures; docking

plans; Vessel handling and important vessel characteristics;

and block construction.
