Project work on nautical simulators (VS)


Syllabus

Work on a navigation simulator, guiding the guards, avoiding collisions, drifting in difficult circumstances (night, rain, fog), navigating through dangerous areas (straits, separate navigation schemes, guest traffic ...), maneuvering by boat, anchoring, landing, control of the machine from the navigation bridge, detailed knowledge of the maneuvering commands through the machine simulator, steering of the handlebar, control of the transverse thrust bolt, communication with other ships via devices within the GMDSS system.

Application in practice: ISPS, ISM, SMS.

Bridge Team Management and Bridge Resource Management: Use of data from various navigation devices (equipment) to maintain a safe guard. Knowledge of the principles of managing tasks and resources on the bridge, which includes: location, tasks and priority of resources, effective communication, decision-making and management, safety/security awareness taking into account the experience of crew members. Knowledge of "blind piloting" techniques.

Reporting in accordance with the general principles for ship reporting systems and VTS procedures.

Content according to IMO model courses 7.01 and 7.03:

  • VOYAGE PLANNING AND NAVIGATION FOR ALL CONDITIONS

    • Handling ship in rivers, estuaries and restricted waters, having regard to the effects of current, wind and restricted water on helm response
    • Application of constant rate of turn techniques
    • Manoeuvring in shallow water including the reduction in under-keel clearance caused by squat, rolling and pitching
    • Interaction between passing ships and between own ship and nearby banks (canal effect)
    • Berthing and unberthing under various conditions of wind, tide and current with and without tugs
    • Ship and tug interaction
    • Management and handling ships in heavy weather including assisting a ship or aircraft in distress; towing operations; means of keeping an unmanageable ship out of a sea trough, lessening lee drift and use of oil
    • Practical measures to be taken when navigating in or near ice or in conditions of ice accumulation on board
    • Use of, and manoeuvring in and near traffic separation schemes and in vessel traffic service (VTS) areas
    • Arrangements necessary for appropriate and effective engineering watches to be maintained for the purpose of safety under normal circumstances and UMS operations
    • Arrangements necessary to ensure a safe engineering watch is maintained when carrying dangerous cargo

Goals and competencies

The objective of the course is to upgrade the knowledge and skills acquired in professional subjects. The upgrade includes practical work on the simulators with which UL FPP is available. In doing so, the student will prepare for future tasks that will be required of him when working on the ship.

At the end of the course, students must independently navigate in all weather conditions.

Special features:

Implementation of the learning content among others include requirements in accordance with the provisions of the STCW Convention A-II / 1, A-II/2 and the recommendations of the »Master and Chief Mate (Model course 7.01)« and »Officer in charge of a navigational watch (Model course 7.03)« International Maritime Organization, London, 2014 and IMO Model corse 1.22 »Ship simulator and bridge teamwork«.
