Goals and competencies
The purpose of the course is to acquire basic knowledge in the field of statics, strength and hydromechanics. It develops competencies in the field of mechanics and hydromechanics, which enable proper action in addressing problems on the vessel.
Special features: Implementation of learning content in accordance with the STCW Convention A-III/1, A-III/2, A-III/3 and IMO model course 7.04 and 7.02
