Ship Simulator Course (SSC) [Manual Shiphandling and Maneuvering with Resource Management]

The training course enhances the operational skills and efficiency of navigating officers, as well as, the bridge team. It provides an analysis of the officers’ capabilities during critical operations, including behavioral patterns in decision-making or team management.

The course focuses on the use of high-value operational procedures in manual ship handling. Manual ship handling skills need to be practiced onshore and offshore, and are a must for berthing and un-berthing, anchor handling, towing and setting up vessels.

Training delivery uses theoretical discussion and exercises on the ARI offshore maneuvering simulator. The practical exercises include the different scenarios for manual maneuvering, the twin-screw vessels and the azimuth thrusters. The Certificate of Completion (COC) and behavioral report are issued to the trainee after the completion of the course.

Offshore Shiphandling Course with Anchor Handling and Towing (OSCAHT)

The training course is intended for masters and deck officers who are operating offshore vessels in manual mode, controlling dynamically-positioned vessels and working on anchor handling and towing vessels. The trainees should be certified by Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) or are in the process of obtaining an STCW certificate. Ship handling and navigational watchkeeping experience is an advantage.
The course focuses on handling offshore vessels. The trainees are also provided with basic knowledge on how Dynamic Positioning (DP) vessels operate.
Training delivery uses theoretical discussion and the ARI offshore maneuvering and anchor-handling simulator. The practical exercises include manual maneuvering – twin-screw vessels and azimuth thrusters – and anchor handling. A Certificate of Completion (COC) is earned at the end of the course.
