The declared aims of this Environmental Awareness computer-based training course are to consider the important problems related to the environment that are caused by pollution in general, examine types and sources of pollution at sea, highlight international rules and regulations adopted to reduce/prevent pollution, and outline good practice procedures to prevent/reduce pollution at sea.

There are five sections in the present training course - Introduction to Pollution, Types and Sources of the Pollution, Oil Pollution Prevention, Associated Rules and Regulations, Environmental Management Systems - supplemented with a Glossary with definitions and Test bank. The first section of this training course is purely introductory and has two objectives, namely to consider the basic environmental problems being caused by the pollution from ships, as mentioned above, and to highlight the ways in which shipping industry contributes to these problems.The pollution of the seas should be critically important to all seamen and the shipping industry in general.

All people involved in shipping must receive appropriate training on the results of pollution and the means of reducing and preventing this pollution. All shipboard personnel have to participate in the environment protection, and ensure that they take positive actions to prevent pollution through good seamanship practices...​

The STCW Convention was originally implemented back in 1978 and came into full effect in the year 2002, after several important amendments to its content, notably in 1995. The present training package is looking at the background and importance of the convention, considering the effect of some revisions addressing operational life and affecting literally all maritime specialists at sea and ashore.

It covers the newly introduced certification and refresher training. The authors have also focused on the safety matters with the particular emphasis made on the critical importance of professional leadership, ship security, armed robbery, international maritime piracy, polar navigation, cruise shipping and many other important aspects. The content of the training also covers the importance of recognizing the Port State and demand for the proper record keeping.

The training program contains key interviews with the leading representatives of the shipping industry, ship owners and operators, port state authorities and other professionals sharing their experience. The training is perfectly structured and contains numerous live examples. The package contains of this video and accompanying training booklet and we recommend you to use both resources for better learning results.

The present package of the maritime software consists of several useful and practical programs which have been specifically developed to be used by the marine surveyors as well as ship officers in their day to day activities, providing assistance with the calculations. All programs making this pack are very user-friendly. They will assist in lashing calculations and draft surveys and will also be useful for persons performing route planning.

They are easily operated by means of either mouse of keyboard. Note that the programs have been worked out in compliance with the latest UN EC standards as well as with the Code of Safe Practice for Cargo Stowage and Securing.

The results of the calculations can be printed. Among key features of the Draft Survey program we would note two modes of calculation available and a fact that the required calculation accuracy can be reached by entering only 35 lines of values into the hydrostatic tables of the vessel corresponding to the various conditions.

Each of the other programs can also boast some useful features that allow them to be highly recommended for everyday use on board vessels. The programs are also excellent for training purposes and will be highly valued by the students.

This part of the ECDIS Video Guides series is devoted to the SAM Electronics ChartPilot 1100 system. The set consists of seven separate video lessons supplemented with the document providing necessary information about using the Admiralty VCS, standing for the vector chart service, with SAM ECDIS. Note that the provisions and content of the publication are based on the 6.14 version.

The User Guide traditionally covers such important aspects as the data management and UPN, data and permits, public key, installation of the permits, system checks, troubleshooting etc. The other parts of the training video series are also available here and address such systems as Kongsberg K-Bridge, JRC-JAN-701B-901B-2000, OSI ECPINS, eGlobe G2, Furuno FEA2X07 and FMD 3X00, PC Maritime NavMaster, Kelvin Hughes MantaDigital, Raytheon Anschutz, and Maris ECDIS 900.

All training modules have more or less similar structure and consist of several videos accompanies with one or two documents, such as the user or installation guides. The files will provide useful on board ships with the ECDIS system installed as well as when used for the education purposes by the students or for self-training.

This is an excellent training tool developed by The Nautical Institute specifically for the people working on the bulk carriers. The program is made of two sections – manuals and plans. The section with the manuals will provide the trainees with the stability information manual, grain stability manual, cargo loading & securing manual, and ballast water management manual. All of the above manuals are presented using the Diamond 53 bulk carrier as an example.

Note that the general information about the subject vessel is provided, as well. The plans section will give you such plans as the general arrangement of the vessel and midship section drawing, tank and capacity plan, docking plan and shell expansion, drawings of the ballast water system, natural ventilation, shipboard lifesaving and firefighting arrangements, hold washing and drainage system, temporary mooring arrangement, fire control plan, general arrangement and sealing plan for the hatch covers, arrangement of the air pipes etc. The software is very easy to use, just launch the Start file and you will have access to the above listed documents immediately. No need for any serial codes, cracking; the documents are free of any malware.

A truly excellent compilation of the training courses for marine engineers developed by the professionals of the world respected MAN B&W Diesel A/S. It includes several valuable training presentations and numerous operation manuals for the B&W series of marine diesel engines. One of the presentations describes the main advantages of the ME engines, while another one explains the design features for K98 ME (-C) electronically controlled engines.

Then, there are two huge folders with training materials, containing detailed technical presentations prepared for each of the engine pieces, e.g. bearings, cylinders, purifiers, fuel equipment, exhaust valves, etc. also touching such operation and maintenance aspects as automatic tuning of the PMI, turbo cut-out, engine upgrades, technical service, report guidelines, etc.

In addition to the above, there is a separate "pure training" folder containing presentations on the ME engine concept, hydraulic power supply and hydraulic cylinder unit, exhaust system, fuel system. PMI, general description of the engine, MOP displays etc. Needless to say that this set will be of great use to all personnel dealing with the operation, maintenance and repair of these marine diesel engines since it provides comprehensive references on nearly every detail.

The Navi-Planner CBT (computer based training) is specifically designated for the officers-in-charge of a navigational bridge as well as for the nautical officers with enough experience. In addition, it will be useful to any other people responsible for the navigation and planning. The main purpose declared by the developers of this course was to significantly increase the safety of navigation though the improvement of the skills and knowledge required to fully utilize all technical features of the Navi-Planner program.
