Goals and competencies

Marine propulsion and maintenance of all the necessary auxiliary machines and installations is a complex problem requiring a thorough knowledge of all the elements. For undisturbed and safe operation, it is undoubtedly necessary to get to know the structural elements of the ship's machinery and equipment.

Special Features:

Implementation of the learning content among others include requirements in accordance with the provisions of the STCW Convention A-III / 1, A-III / 2 and the recommendations of the "Chief engineer officer and second engineer officer (Model course 7.02)" and "Officer and charge of an engineering watch (model course 7.04) "International Maritime Organization, London, 2014
