This model course outlines the guidelines for training utilizing an engine room simulator, which is designated as one method for demonstrating competence in Column 3 of tables A-III/1, A-III/2, A-III/4, A-III/6, and A-III/7, excluding the Functions "Controlling the operation of the ship and care for the persons on board at the operational level/management level."
The exercises are overseen by an instructor and will initially enable the trainee to familiarize themselves with the machinery and controls employed in the engine rooms of contemporary merchant vessels. Moreover, the trainee will develop proficiency in monitoring instrument displays while evaluating the normal operational conditions of a propulsion plant.
Each exercise should be preceded by a briefing session and followed by a group debriefing, which will analyze the actions and decisions made by the trainee. It is important to note that this course does not substitute for the experience gained from actual watchkeeping service in the engine room aboard a ship. The course aims to impart knowledge and skills related to the operation, supervision, and monitoring of the safe operation and control of the ship's machinery in accordance with the provisions of the STCW Code.
Specifically, the trainee will gain familiarity with the instrumentation and controls utilized in the engine rooms of modern merchant ships, an understanding of the necessity for proper pre-planning, the use of checklists, and the timeline involved in starting up propulsion plant machinery.
Additionally, they will gain experience in identifying operational issues and troubleshooting, as well as the capacity for logical decision-making that enhances operational safety. Admission to the course is available to trainees with a basic background and knowledge, as well as to marine engineers seeking to enhance their understanding of the operation of machinery on a modern merchant vessel.
